Answer:


\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{Slope = - 1}}}}}

Explanation:


\tt{Let \: the \: points \: be \: A \: and \: B}


\tt{Let \: A ( 2 , -3 ) \: be \: ( x1 , y1 ) \: and \: B ( -4 , 3 ) \: be \: ( x2 , y2)}


\underline{ \tt{Finding \: the \: slope \: of \: the \: line}}


\boxed{ \sf{Slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) }}


\longmapsto{ \sf{Slope = (3 -( - 3))/( - 4 - 2) }}


\longmapsto{ \sf{Slope = (3 + 3)/( - 4 - 2)}}


\longmapsto{ \sf{Slope = (6)/( -6)}}


\longmapsto{ \boxed{ \sf{Slope = - 1}}}


\tt{Hope \: I \: helped ! }


\sf{Best \: regards !!}
