Answer:

The answer is

$(3)/(2) \\$

Explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

$m = ( y_2 - y _ 1)/(x_ 2 - x_ 1) \\$

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

(1,-4) and (3,-1)

The slope is

$m = ( - 1 - - 4)/(3 - 1) = ( - 1 + 4)/(2) = (3)/(2) \\$

We have the final answer as

$(3)/(2) \\$
