Question

The slope of the lineing through the points (3,1) and (-2,4) is

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed { m = -3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Slope Formula to help you find the slope of the two given points:

$m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$

(where $(x_{1}, y_{1})$ represents the first point and $(x_{2}, y_{2})$ represents the second point)

-Apply the given points onto the formula:

$(x_{1}, y_{1}) = (3, 1)$

$(x_{2}, y_{2}) = (-2, 4)$

$m = \frac{4 - 1}{-2 - 3}$

Solve for the slope:

$m = \frac{4 - 1}{-2 - 3}$

$m = \frac{3}{-1}$

$\boxed { m = -3}$

Therefore, the slope is $-3$.
