Answer:

$\huge{ \boxed{ \sf{ \frac{4}{3} }}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\star{ \sf{ \: Let \: the \: points \: be \: A \: and \: B}}$

$\star{ \sf{ \: Let \: a(2,-1) \: be \: (x1 \:, y1) \: and \: b (5,3) \: be \: (x2 \:, y2)}}$

$\underline{ \sf{Finding \: the \: slope \: of \: the \: line}}$

$\boxed{ \sf{Slope = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} }}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{Slope = \frac{3 - ( - 1)}{5 - 2} }}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{Slope = \frac{3 + 1}{5 - 2}}}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{Slope = \frac{4}{3} }}$

Hope I helped!

What are the solutions to the equation x2 +3x-4=0

Serhud [2]

$x^{2} +3x-4=0$

You wan't to get it into a format of (x+a)(x+b)=0
where a+b = 3 (the one from the 3x)
and where a*b= -4 (from the last -4)

(x+4)(x-1)=0
See how 4+(-1) = 3 and (4)(-1) = -4

now find what values of x would make the equation equal 0
x=-4
(-4+4)(-4-1) = (0)(-5) = 0

x=1
(1+4)(1-1) = (5)(0) = 0
