Answer:

$\boxed { m = -3}$

Explanation:

Use the Slope Formula to help you find the slope of the two given points:

m = (y_(2) - y_(1))/(x_(2) - x_(1))

(where
(x_(1), y_(1)) represents the first point and
(x_(2), y_(2)) represents the second point)

-Apply the given points onto the formula:

(x_(1), y_(1)) = (3, 1)

(x_(2), y_(2)) = (-2, 4)

m = (4 - 1)/(-2 - 3)

Solve for the slope:

m = (4 - 1)/(-2 - 3)

m = (3)/(-1)

$\boxed { m = -3}$

Therefore, the slope is
