Answer
The slope is \[3\] and the line rises from left to right.
Work Step by Step
Let \[\left( {{x}_{1}},{{y}_{1}} \right)=\left( -1,2 \right)\]and\[\left( {{x}_{2}},{{y}_{2}} \right)=\left( -3,-4 \right)\].
Slope of line can be find by:
\[m=\frac{{{y}_{2}}-{{y}_{1}}}{{{x}_{2}}-{{x}_{1}}}\]
Substitute the values to get,
\[\begin{align}
& m=\frac{\left( -4 \right)-2}{\left( -3 \right)-\left( -1 \right)} \\
& =\frac{-6}{-2} \\
& =3
\end{align}\]
Since, the slope is positive.
Therefore, the line rises from left to right.
