The slope of a line passing through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is calculated using the formula:
m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
Plugging in the values from the given pair of points, we get:
m = (2 - 4) / (3 - (-4)) = (-2) / 7
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the given pair of points is -2/7.
The correct answer is B. -2/7.
