To find the slope of the line passing through the points (-4, 4) and (3, 2), we use the formula:
slope = (change in y-coordinates) / (change in x-coordinates)
The change in y-coordinates is 2 - 4 = -2, and the change in x-coordinates is 3 - (-4) = 7.
Therefore, the slope is:
slope = (-2) / 7
The correct response is: negative two-sevenths.
