• Slope Formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point C(-2, 4)

Point D(1, -1)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

1. Substitute [SF]:                    $m=\frac{-1-4}{1+2}$
2. Subtract/Add:                      $m=\frac{-5}{3}$

Answer 2

ANSWER:

–5/3x

EXPLANATION:

In order to get the answer, you would first need to turn those two points into an equation. The equation would be : y=-5/3x+2/3. Remember that the mx always contains the slope.
