Answer

The line rises from left to right. So, the slope is positive. Slope $m=\frac{4}{3}$.

Work Step by Step

The line rises from left to right. So, the slope is positive. Let $(x_{1},y_{1})=(1,-1)$ and $(x_{2},y_{2})=(4,3)$. Slope $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}=\frac{3-(-1)}{4-1}=\frac{4}{3}$
