A) $\frac { 7 } { 4 }$
B) $\frac { 4 } { 7 }$
C) $- \frac { 7 } { 4 }$
D) 0

Using the formula for slope, we have:

slope = $\frac{	ext{change in y}}{	ext{change in x}}$

slope = $\frac{-7-0}{0-(-4)}$

slope = $\frac{-7}{4}$

Therefore, the slope of the line is $\boxed{	extbf{(C)} -\frac { 7 } { 4 }}$.
