slope = (-1-4)/(2+3) = -5/5 = -1

hope it helps

Answer:

Explanation:

hello

let´s see, we have two points of a line

p1(-3,4) and p2(2,-1)

the slope of this line would be


m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) =(-1-4)/(2-(-3))\\\\m=(-5)/(5) \\m=-1\\

the negative symbol in the slope tells us that as the line goes down, as the values ​​of x increase, the values ​​of y decrease.

have a good day
