Answer: Slope, sometimes referred to as gradient in mathematics, is a number that measures the steepness and direction of a line, or a section of a line connecting two points, and is usually denoted by m. Generally, a line's steepness is measured by the absolute value of its slope, m.

Answer:

slope =
(7)/(4)

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 4) ← 2 points on the line

m =
(4-(-3))/(3-(-1)) =
(4+3)/(3+1) =
(7)/(4)
