How do you determine the slope of the line passing through (-3,0) and (4,3)?

Divide the difference between the y coordinates by the difference (taken in the same sequence) of the x coordinates.

Explanation:

For the points $(- 3, 0)$ $(-3,0)$ and $(4, 3)$ $(4,3)$
the slope is
$XXXX$ $color(white)("XXXX")$ $\frac{0 - 3}{(- 3) - 4} = \frac{- 3}{- 7} = \frac{3}{7}$ $(0-3)/((-3)-4) = (-3)/(-7) = 3/7$
