The slope of this line is m = -5/7m=−57

Explanation:

The slope can be found by using the formula: m = (color(red)(y_2) - color(blue)(y_1))/(color(red)(x_2) - color(blue)(x_1))m=y2−y1x2−x1

Where mm is the slope and (color(blue)(x_1, y_1)x1,y1) and (color(red)(x_2, y_2)x2,y2) are the two points on the line.

Substituting the values from the points given in the equation produces:

m = (color(red)(-3) - color(blue)(2))/(color(red)(4) - color(blue)(-3))m=−3−24−−3

m = (color(red)(-3) - color(blue)(2))/(color(red)(4) + color(blue)(3))m=−3−24+3

m = -5/7m=−57
