Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-3,4) and (2,-1)

Answer 1

Slope formula: $\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

First, you would need to plug the coordinates into the formula for slope. 
$\frac{-1 - 4}{2 - (-3)}$

Now, all you have to do is solve and simplify it.
$\frac{-1 - 4}{2 - (-3)}$ = $\frac{-5}{5}$ = -1

The slope of the line is -1. 

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

Hello! The formula for finding slope is y2- y1 / x2- x1. That means subtract the first y-coordinate from the second y-coordinate and the first x-coordinate from the second x-coordinate. Plug in the values to have it like this: -1 - 4 / 2 - (-3). When you subtract the numbers, you get -5/5 or just simply -1. The slope of the line is -1.
