Answer:

Explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

$m = ( y_2 - y _ 1)/(x_ 2 - x_ 1) \\$

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

We have

$m = (4 - 7)/(3 - - 1) = ( - 3)/(3 + 1) = - (3)/(4) \\$

We have the final answer as

$- (3)/(4) \\$

Hope this helps you
