To find the slope (rate of change) of a line that passes through two points, you can use the formula:
slope = (change in y-coordinate) / (change in x-coordinate)
Given the two points (-4, 7) and (-6, -4), the change in y-coordinate is -4 - 7 = -11 and the change in x-coordinate is -6 - (-4) = -6 + 4 = -2.
Therefore, the slope is:
slope = (-11) / (-2) = 11/2
So, the correct answer is: 11 halves.
