Answer:


\boxed {m = 1}

Explanation:

Use the Slope Formula to determine the slope of two given points:


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

First Point:
(x_(1), y_(1))

Second Point:
(x_(2), y_(2))

-Substitute both points:

First Point:
(3, -4)

Second Point:
(1, 2)


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

-Solve for the slope:


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


m = (-2)/(-2)


\boxed {m = 1}

Therefore, the slope is
1.
