Question

Choose the correct slope of the line that passes through the points (1, −3) and (3, −5).

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5)

m = $\frac{-5+3}{3-1}$ = $\frac{-2}{2}$ = - 1 → B

Answer 2

Answer:

B. -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula to find the slope  m .
