The formula for slope is [tex]\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }[/tex]

In this case:

[tex]y_{2} = 1\\ y_{1} }= -3\\x_{2} = -4\\x_{1} = 0[/tex]

so...

[tex]\frac{1 - (-3)}{-4 - 0}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{4}{-4}[/tex]

-1 <<<The slope

Hope this helped!

Answer:

m = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is also called the gradient, m.

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

x1 = 0

y1 = 3

x2 = -4

y2 = 1

we therefore substitute for the values in the formula

m = (1-⁻3)/(⁻4-0)

m = -1
