Answer: The slope is -1.5


Explanation:

The formula for slope is M = (Y2 - Y1) ÷ (X2 - X1), where M is the slope, and the Y and X components are the two points shown. We know the two points are (-1, 3) and (3, -3), so all we have to do is plug in the numbers.

M = (Y2 - Y1) ÷ (X2 - X1)

M = ([-3] - 3) ÷ (3 - [-1])

M = (-6) ÷ (4)

M = -1.5

Hope that helps!!

Answer:

-3/2

Explanation:

Slope is defined as
(rise)/(run),

So the line goes down 6 instead of rising, making the rise negative: -6

The line goes over 4, making the run: 4

So -6/4 or -3/2
