Answer:

The slope would -1

Explanation:

When solving these problems we need to know the formula for finding slope between two points which is considered
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) in which the y-value on the second coordinate (-1) minus the y-value of the first coordinate (4), these would be put on top of the fraction bar while we do the same for the x-value in which we get the x-value from the second coordinate (2) and do minus the x-value of the first coordinate (-3).

Next let's plug-in our values into the equation
((-1)-(4))/((2)-(-3)) . With the top part being easy to subtract it would simply be -5 on top. The bottom, however, has a minus on the bottoms with -3 in parentheses, in which case this would then turn into a +3 because distributing the negative to -3 to make it a positive. The bottom of the fraction would then become 2+3 which is 5.

Our final equation would look like
(-5)/(5) in which case can be simplified to -1.
