Answer:

slope = 3

Explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1, - 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 2) ← 2 points on the line

m =
(2-(-1))/(0-(-1)) =
(2+1)/(0+1) =
(3)/(1) = 3

Answer:

m = 3

Explanation:

Slope = rise/run or (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Pick 2 points (-1,-1) (0,2)

We see the y increase by 3 and the x increase by 1, so the slope is

m = 3
