Answer:

The slope of the line = m = 3/2

Hence, option D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points

  • (1,-4)
  • (3,-1)

Determining the slope between  (1,-4) and (3,-1)

(x₁, y₁) = (1,-4)

(x₂, y₂) =  (3,-1)

Using the formula

Slope = m =  [y₂ - y₁] /  [x₂ - x₁]

               =  [-1 - (-4)] / [3 - 1]

               = [-1 + 4] / [2]

               = 3/2

Thus, the slope of the line = m = 3/2

Hence, option D is correct.
