Answer: 7/4
=========================================================
How to get that answer:
The slope is the rate of change for any linear function.
Apply the slope formula for any two points on the diagonal line.
I'll use the points (-4, -3) and (0, 4)
[tex]m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\m = \frac{4-(-3)}{0-(-4)}\\\\m = \frac{4+3}{0+4}\\\\m = \frac{7}{4}\\\\[/tex]
The slope is m = 7/4
This indicates that each time we go up 7 (rise), we also go to the right 4 units (run)
slope = rise/run = 7/4
rise = 7, run = 4
The fraction 7/4 converts to the decimal form 1.75
