Answer:

slope =
-(4)/(3)

Explanation:

Use the slope formula,
m = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1), to find the slope.
m represents the slope.
x_1 and
y_1 represent the x and y values of one point, and
x_2 and
y_2 represent the x and y values of another point. So, substitute the x and y values of the points (-3, 4) and (0, 0) into the formula appropriately and solve:


m= ((0)-(4))/((0)-(-3)) \\m = (0-4)/(0+3) \\m = (-4)/(3)

Thus, the slope is
-(4)/(3).
