The slope $= 4/ 3$

$(2,-1) = color(blue)(x_1, y_1$

$(5, 3) = color(blue)(x_2, y_2$

The slope is calculated using formula:

Slope $= (y_2-y_1) / (x_2- x_1$ ( change in y axis / change in x axis)

$= ( 3 - (-1)) / (5-2)$

$= ( 3 +1) / 3$

$= 4/ 3$

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: (2,-1) ,(5,3) (2,-1) ,(5,3) ?
