Answer:

Slope = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Points to remember

slope of the line passing through the point (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by

Slope m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

To find the slope of the given line

Here (x₁, y₁) = (2, 3) and (x₂, y₂) = (1, -2)

Slope m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

= (-2 - 3)/(1 - 2)

= (-5)/(-1)

= 5

Therefore the slope of given line is 5

(-2-3)/(1-2) = -5/-1 = 5

The slope is 5

Hope this helps!

$\text{A logarithmic lemma: } \\ \text{It follows that: } \log_a a = 1$
$\text{Following this property, we can see that: } a^{\log_{a} a} = a$
$\text{Furthermore, we can create more general properties: } a^{\log_a b} = b$

$c = \log_e 2 \Rightarrow e^{c} = e^{\log_e 2} \\ \text{Using our third property, we see that: } e^{c} = 2$
$\text{And finally, this works for any } \log_{a} b \left\{a > 0, b \in \mathbb{R}\right\}$
