Given the points:

(x1, y1) ==> (3, 4)

(x2, y2) ==> (6, 3)

Let's find the slope of the line passing through the points.

To find the slope, apply the slope formula:


m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Plug in the values and solve for the slope, m:


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

Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points is:


-(1)/(3)

ANSWER:


-(1)/(3)
