To find the slope of the line that passes through the two given points, we can use the formula:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Given the points (-4, 4) and (3, 2), we can substitute the values into the formula:
slope = (2 - 4) / (3 - (-4))
= (-2) / (3 + 4)
= (-2) / 7
Therefore, the slope of the line is negative two-sevenths.
