$m = \frac{3}{2}$ $m=3/2$

$m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$

Here , $x_{1} = - 7$ $x_1=-7$

$x_{2} = - 3$ $x_2=-3$

$y_{1} = - 4$ $y_1=-4$

$y_{2} = 2$ $y_2=2$

$\Rightarrow m = \frac{2 - (- 4)}{- 3 - (- 7)}$ $=> m=(2-(-4))/(-3-(-7))$

$\Rightarrow m = \frac{2 + 4}{- 3 + 7}$ $=> m=(2+4)/(-3+7)$

$\Rightarrow m = \frac{6}{4}$ $=> m=6/4$

$\Rightarrow m = \frac{3}{2}$ $=> m=3/2$

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: (-7, -4) ,(-3,2)(−7,−4),(−3,2) (-7, -4) ,(-3,2)?
