Explanation:

Hello :)

So to answer this problem, we can use the rise over run formula.

The rise is the difference of any two y values.

The run is the difference of the x values from the same two y values.

This question gives us 1,-2 and 3,0

We can use them for the formula:

-2 - 0 divided by 1 - 3

-2/-2 = 1

  • Slope Formula:
    m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (1, -2)

Point (3, 0)

Step 2: Find slope m

  1. Substitute [Slope Formula]:
    m=(0+2)/(3-1)
  2. Evaluate Addition/Subtraction:
    m=(2)/(2)
  3. Evaluate Division:
    m=1
