Answer:

the slope of the line is -2

Explanation:

Hello, I can help you with this,

you can find the slope of a line if you have two known points

let

$P1(x_(1),y_(1))\\P2(x_(2),y_(2))\\$

two points of a line,the slope(m) is given by:

$m=(y_(2) -y_(1))/(x_(2) -x_(1))\\$

Step 1

let

P1(1,1)

P2(0,3)

all you have to so id put the values into the equation

$m=(y_(2) -y_(1))/(x_(2) -x_(1))\\\\m=(3-1)/(0-1)\\ m=(2)/(-1)\\ m=-2$

so, the slope of the line is -2

I really hope it helps, have a great day.
