Answer:
The slope is 3.
Explanation:
slope = rise/run = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Pick any 2 points and plug them in to solve for the slope.
= (-8--5)/(-2--1)
= (-8+5)/(-2+1)
= (-3)/-1 = 3
The slope is 3.
I anticipate that the next question will be: what is the equation for the line?
The general equation is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept (where x=0).
We have the y intercept because we were given the point (0,-2).
So our equation is y=mx-2.
We just solved the slope above (so m=3), so our equation would be y=3x-2.
