The slope is m = -6/5m=−65

Explanation:

The formula for the slope of a line based upon two coordinate points is

m = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)m=y2−y1x2−x1

For the coordinate points (-1,3) and (4,-3)(−1,3)and(4,−3)
x_1 = -1x1=−1
x_2 = 4x2=4
y_1 = 3y1=3
y_2 = -3y2=−3

m = (-3-3)/(4-(-1))m=−3−34−(−1)

m = -6/5m=−65

The slope is m = -6/5m=−65
