Answer:

m =
-(1)/(4)

Explanation:

Use the following equation:

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

Let:


(x_1 , y_1) = (11 , -4)\\(x_2 , y_2) = (7 , -3)\\

Plug in the corresponding numbers into the corresponding variables:

slope (m) =
(-3 - (-4))/(7 - 11) = (-3 + 4)/(7 - 11) = (1)/(-4) = -(1)/(4)


-(1)/(4) is your answer.
