Given the points:

(x1, y1) ==> (1, -3)

(x2, y2) ==> (-5, -4)

Let's find the slope of the line that passes through the points.

To find the slope of the line, use the slope formula below:


m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Input values into the formula:


\begin{gathered} m=(-4-(-3))/(-5-1) \\ \\ m=(-4+3)/(-5-1) \\ \\ m=(-1)/(-6) \\ \\ m=(1)/(6) \end{gathered}

The slope of the line that passes through the given points is:


(1)/(6)

ANSWER:


(1)/(6)
