Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: `(-1, -2), (2,-3)`?

Answer 1

The formula for slope is the following:
`(y_2 - y_1)/ (x_2 - x_1)`

Explanation:

Assuming m represents slope

m = `(y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)`

m = `(-3 - (-2)) / (2 - (-1))`

m = `-1/3`

The slope is `-1/3`\
