Question

What is the slope of the line plotted below?

Answer 1

(-2,4). (1,3)

(3-4)/(1+2)= -1/3 is the slope

Answer 2

`-(1)/(3)`

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello

if we know two points of a line P1(X1,Y1) and P2(X2,Y2) ,the slope(m) of a line is given by

`m=(Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1) \\\\`

As shown in the figure, we have two points

P1(1,3) and P2(-2,4)

then

`m=(4-3)/(-2-1) \\m=(1)/(-3) \\m=-(1)/(3)`

I hope it helps you

Have a great day.
