-1.

Explanation:

You see, slope is calculated by this formula:
#(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)#

#y_2# is the y value of the second ordered pair (in this case, #-7#)
#y_1# is the y value of the first ordered pair (in this case, #-1#)
#x_2# is the x value of the second ordered pair (in this case, #2#)
#x_1# is the x value of the first ordered pair (in this case, #-4#)

Plugging it in...
#(-7-(-1))/(2-(-4)) = -6/6=-1#

The slope is #-1#.
