Slope=3=3.

Explanation:

The slope mm of a line thro. pts. (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2)(x1,y1)and(x2,y2) is,

defined by, m=(y_1-y_2)/(x_1-x_2), x_1!=x_2m=y1y2x1x2,x1x2.

In our case, the reqd. slope is 33.

Use the formula; the answer is 3.

Explanation:

(-4-5)/(-3-0)=-9/-3=34530=93=3

For slope, you should do this:

(Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)=SlopeY2Y1X2X1=Slope
Where (-3, -4) is (X2, Y2)
and (0, 5) is (X1, Y1)
