Slope formula question (Algebra 2)

Answer 1

$\bf \begin{array}{lllll} &x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\ % (a,b) &({{ 5}}\quad ,&{{ 3}})\quad % (c,d) &({{ 3}}\quad ,&{{ 1}}) \end{array} \\\\\\ % slope = m slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies \cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{1-3}{3-5}\implies \cfrac{-2}{-2}\implies 1$
