Given the points:
(x1, y1) ==> (1, -3)
(x2, y2) ==> (-5, -4)
Let's find the slope of the line that passes through the points.
To find the slope of the line, use the slope formula below:
[tex]m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]Input values into the formula:
[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\frac{-4-(-3)}{-5-1} \\ \\ m=\frac{-4+3}{-5-1} \\ \\ m=\frac{-1}{-6} \\ \\ m=\frac{1}{6} \end{gathered}[/tex]The slope of the line that passes through the given points is:
[tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex]ANSWER:
[tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
