Answer

Simplify the expression, we get \(m = \frac{-12}{-4}\)

Steps

Step 1 ：First, we apply the formula for the slope of a line which is \(m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\)

Step 2 ：Substitute the given points into the formula, we get \(m = \frac{-7 - 5}{-1 - 3}\)

Step 3 ：Simplify the expression, we get \(m = \frac{-12}{-4}\)
