Hi there! :)

Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{m = \frac{3}{2}}[/tex]

Find the slope using the slope formula:

[tex]m = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

Plug in the coordinates of each point:

[tex]m = \frac{-1 - (-4)}{3 - 1}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]m = \frac{3}{2}[/tex]

Therefore, the slope of the line is 3/2.

Answer:

3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is given by

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = ( -1 - -4)/(3-1)

     = ( -1+4)/(2)

     = ( 3/2)
