The slope, #m#, of the line that passes through points #(-3,-3)# and #(0,0)# is #1#.

The formula for finding the slope, #m#, of a line from two points on the line is:

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

Point 1 = #(-3,-3)#
#x_1=-3 #y_1=-3

Point 2 = #(0,0)#
#x_2=0#
#y_2=0#

Solve for slope.

#m=(0-(-3))/(0-(-3))=cancel3/cancel3=1# =

#m=1#
