The fraction four thirds.
To find the slope (rate of change) of a line, you can use the formula:
slope = (change in y-coordinates)/(change in x-coordinates)
Given two points (-2, -3) and (1, 1), the change in y-coordinates is 1 - (-3) = 4, and the change in x-coordinates is 1 - (-2) = 3.
Therefore, the slope is:
slope = 4/3
So, the correct answer is the fraction four thirds.
