Answer:

7/4

Explanation:

We can use the slope formula to find the slope of the line passing through the given points:

slope = (change in y) / (change in x)

Let's take any two points from the given set, say (−4,−3) and (4, 11):

slope = (11 - (-3)) / (4 - (-4))

= 14 / 8

= 7/4

Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the given set of points is 7/4.
