To find the slope of the line that passes through the points \((-3, 1)\) and \( (2, -4)\), you can use the slope formula:
\[
m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
\]
Here, \((x_1, y_1) = (-3, 1)\) and \((x_2, y_2) = (2, -4)\).
Plugging in the values:
\[
m = \frac{-4 - 1}{2 - (-3)} = \frac{-4 - 1}{2 + 3} = \frac{-5}{5} = -1
\]
Thus, the slope of the line is \(-1\).
