Answer:

5/4

Explanation:

The formula for slope(m) is m = change in y/change in x

first point is at (-1,-1) and the second point is at (3,4)

Plug it into the equation so:

change in y: 4--1=5

change in x: 3--1=4

slope in therefore 5/4

Answer: use rise over run

Explanation:

pick one of the points, and count how many units it runs to the next point, and then rise to the point. so this picture you would run 2 units and rise 5 units. 5/2 and simplify for the slope.
