$m = - \frac{11}{3}$ $m=-11/3$

The slope of the line is determined by the change in $y$ $y$ over the change in $x$ $x$ .

$(Deltay)/(Deltax)$

$m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$

Using the points (-3,-4) and (-6,7)

$x_1=-3$
$y_1=-4$
$x_2=-6$
$y_2=7$

$m = (7-(-4))/((-6)-(-3))$

$m = (7+4))/(-6+3)$

$m = (11)/(-3)$

$m=-11/3$

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: (-3, -4) , (-6, 7) (−3,−4),(−6,7) (-3, -4) , (-6, 7) ?
