To find the slope of the line passing through two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$, we can use the formula:<br /><br />$$\text{slope} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$$<br /><br />Given points $(-4,2)$ and $(3,-3)$, we can substitute these values into the formula:<br /><br />$$\text{slope} = \frac{-3 - 2}{3 - (-4)} = \frac{-5}{7}$$<br /><br />Therefore, the correct answer is C) $-\frac{5}{7}$.
