Question

Determine the slope between these two points (-2,1) and (-3,3)

Answer 1

Finding the slope using two points:

 

The formula for slope is

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

In this case...

$y_{2} =3\\y_{1} =1\\x_{2} =-3\\x_{1} =-2$

^^^Plug these numbers into the formula for slope...

$\frac{3-1}{-3 - (-2)}$

$\frac{2}{-1}$

-2

^^^This is your slope

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

Answer:

-2, or 2/-1

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for slope is y2-y1/x2-x1, but you can chose any points to be (x1, y1) and (x2,y2) but in this example, (-2,1) will be pair 1 and (-3,3) will be pair 2 so substitute:

3-1/-3-(-2)=2/-1, which simplifies to -2
