To find the slope of the line, we can use the formula:
slope = (change in y)/(change in x)
The change in y is -4 - 1 = -5, and the change in x is 2 - (-3) = 5.
So, the slope of the line is -5/5, which simplifies to -1.
Therefore, the correct answer is C) -1.
Use the image to answer the question.
A coordinate plane shows four quadrants with both the x-axis and the y-axis ranging from negative 10 to positive 10 in increments of 2. Two points are plotted and joined by a line. The plotted points are as follows: left parenthesis negative 3 comma 1 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 2 comma negative 4 right parenthesis. A line connects the two plotted points and extends beyond the points in both directions.
