Question

1. what is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-3, 4) and (2, -1)?

-3
2
-1

• required

Explanation:

Step1: Recall slope formula

The slope \( m \) between two points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) is \( m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \).

Step2: Identify coordinates

Let \((x_1, y_1) = (-3, 4)\) and \((x_2, y_2) = (2, -1)\).

Step3: Substitute into formula

\( m = \frac{-1 - 4}{2 - (-3)} = \frac{-5}{5} = -1 \).

Answer:

-1
