The slope equals #m =1#

Explanation:

Slope which is the change in #x# versus the change in #y#.

Slope is identified by the letter #m#

#m = (Deltay)/(Deltax)#

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

#(1,1)# and #(-2,-2)#

#x_1=1#
#y_1=1#
#x_2=-2#
#y_2=-2#

#m = ((-2)-1)/((-2)-1)#

#m = (-3)/(-3)#

The slope equals #m =1#
