Slope = $\frac{3}{4}$ $3/4$

Explanation:

$(x_{1}, y_{1}) = (- 5, - 4)$ $(x_1,y_1)=(-5,-4)$

$(x_{2}, y_{2}) = (- 1, - 1)$ $(x_2,y_2)=(-1,-1)$

Slope $= \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}} = \frac{(- 1) - (- 4)}{(- 1) - (- 5)} = \frac{- 1 + 4}{- 1 + 5} = \frac{3}{4}$ $=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=((-1)-(-4))/((-1)-(-5))=(-1+4)/(-1+5)=3/4$
