Answer: 2/7

Explanation:

Slope is ∆y/∆x. ∆ is read as "delta". The "delta" sign means "the difference between". So that means the difference between the y-coordinates divided by the x-coordinates gives us slope. Therefore, using the coordinates, 5-3 gives us the rise. And 3-(-4) gives us the run. Rise/Run is also equivalent to the slope. Thus, our final answer is 2/7.
