The slope is $- \frac{8}{7}$ $-8/7$ .

Explanation:

To find the slope given two points, we use the formula $\frac{rise}{run}$ $"rise"/"run"$ , or $\frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$ .

Plug in the given points into the formula:
$\frac{- 3 - 5}{3 - (- 4)} = - \frac{8}{7}$ $(-3-5)/(3-(-4)) = -8/7$

Therefore, the slope is $- \frac{8}{7}$ $-8/7$ .

Hope this helps!
