Answer:

The answer is

$- (4)/(3) \\$

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

(-4,7) and (-1,3)

We have

$m = (3 - 7)/( - 1 - - 4) = ( - 4)/( - 1 + 4) = - (4)/(3) \\$

We have the final answer as

$- (4)/(3) \\$

Hope this helps you
