You would use the slope formula for this:

( y_(2) - y_(1))/( x_(2) - x_(1))

You can put your points in and get the equation:

( 1 -3)/(-3+2)

(-2)/(-1)

Or just 2 as the slope

The two given points are
(x1,y1) = (-2,3) and (x2,y2) = (-3,1)

Which further breaks down into these four pieces of info:
x1=-2
y1=3
x2=-3
y2=1

Plug those four values into the slope formula
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (1 - 3)/(-3 - (-2))
m = (1 - 3)/(-3 + 2)
m = (-2)/(-1)
m = 2
