Given:
(-3, 1)
(2, -2)
x1 = -3
x2 = 2
y1= 1
y2 = -2
Find the slope of the line.
Formula for the slope of the line:
m = change in y/ change in x
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
Solution:
Substitute the given values to the formula for the slope of the line.
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (-2 - 1)/(2 - (-3))
m = (-3)/(2 + 3)
m = -3/5
Final answer:
The slope of the line = 3/5
