The slope of a line is calculated by finding the difference in the y-coordinates divided by the difference in the x-coordinates of two points on the line.
The coordinates of Point A are (-4, 1) and the coordinates of Point B are (3, 3).
The difference in the y-coordinates is 3 - 1 = 2, and the difference in the x-coordinates is 3 - (-4) = 7.
Therefore, the slope of the line connecting Point A and Point B is 2/7.
So, the correct answer is 2/7.
Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a coordinate plane with four quadrants. The x and y axes extend from negative 10 to 10 in increments of 1. Two points are plotted on the graph. An upward slanting line connects the two points. Point A is plotted at coordinates left parenthesis negative 4 comma 1 right parenthesis. Point B is plotted at left parenthesis 3 comma 3 right parenthesis.
Determine the slope of the line.
