Question

The slope of the line containing the points (-2, 3) and (-3, 1) is -2/5 1/2 2

Answer 1

Answer:

Option 3rd is correct

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of the given two points is given by:

$\text{Slope} = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$         ...[1]

As per the statement:

Consider the points (-2, 3) and (-3, 1)

where,

$x_1 = -2$, $y_1 = 3$, $x_2 = -3$ and $y_2 = 1$

Substitute in [1] we have;

$\text{Slope} = \frac{1-3}{-3+2}$

⇒$\text{Slope} = \frac{-2}{-1}$

Simplify:

$\text{Slope} =2$

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

Answer 2

The answer for the slope is 2.
