Answer:

2/3.

Explanation:

Slope = difference in y values / difference in x values.

= (3 - -1) / (4 - -2)

= 4 / 6

= 2/3.

Answer:

slope =
(2)/(3)

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, - 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 3)

m =
(3+1)/(4+2) =
(4)/(6) =
(2)/(3)
