Question

The slope of the line containing the points (-2,3) and (-3,1) is

Answer 1

To calculate the slope containing two points, we can use that formula:

$\mathsf{m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}$

"m" represents the slope and coordinates are expressed as follows: (x, y)

Let's go to the calculations.

$\mathsf{m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}\\\\\\ \mathsf{m=\dfrac{1-3}{-3-(-2)}}\\\\\\ \mathsf{m=\dfrac{-2}{-3+2}}\\\\\\ \mathsf{m=\dfrac{-2}{-1}}\\\\\\ \mathsf{m=\dfrac{2}{1}}\\\\\\ \underline{\mathsf{m=2}}$

The answer is 2 uc.
