Answer:

The answer is


\huge - (5)/(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) \\

From the question we have


m = (3 - - 7)/( - 4 - 0) = (3 + 7)/( - 4) = - (10)/(4) = - (5)/(2) \\

We have the final answer as


- (5)/(2) \\

Hope this helps you
