Slope of a Line given points (-8, -3) and (-3, 4)

Given Coordinates: x₁ = -8  y₁ = -3,  x₂ = -3  y₂ = 4
Slope Formula: m  =  
Substitute the given coordinates into the Slope Formula and Simplify:m  =  
m  =  m  =  
Therefore, the Slope of a Line given points (-8, -3) and (-3, 4) is equal to  

7/5

Note: As a decimal number,    = 1.4
