Answer:

slope = -0.75

Explanation:

In order to calculate the slope of a line given the coordinates of two points, we can use the following formula:

$\boxed{m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)}$ ,

where:

m ⇒ slope

(x_1, y_1) ,
(x_2, y_2) ⇒ known coordinates.

Substituting values into the formula:

{m = (0 - 3)/(0 - (-4))}

⇒
-(3)/(4)

⇒
$\bf -0.75$

∴ The slope of the line is -0.75.
