Answer:

7/4

Explanation:

You can think of slope as rise over run, or the change in y / the change in x.

In the image, we can view the two points that are marked on the coordinate system.

We can see how many spaces up we need to go and how many spaces to the right we need to go to find the slope. We can count that we go 7 spaces up and 4 spaces to the right giving us a slope of 7/4. We can also do the change in y over the change in x.

Change in Y: 3 - (-4) = 7

Change in X: (-1) - (-5) = 4

Slope: = Change in Y / Change in X = 7/4
