Question

Find the slope: I need assistance with this as I am struggling a little with it.

Answer 1

`\text{Solution:}\\\text{Here we take any two points through which the line passes.}\\\text{Let's say (-1, -1) and (2, -2).}\\\text{Suppose }(x_1,y_1)=(-1,-1)\ \text{and }(x_2,y_2)=(2,-2).\\\text{Using slope formula,}\\\text{Slope = }(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(-2-(-1))/(2-(-1))=(-2+1)/(2+1)=-(1)/(3)`
