Answer: slope = 2

Explanation:

slope formula is y2-y1 / x2-x1

let’s make 5, x1 and -1, x2, 4, x2 and -3, y2.

if you plug the numbers in it should look like

-3 - -1 / 4-5 = -2/-1 = 2 (positive two). it’s a positive 2 because a negative times a negative is a positive and a positive times a negative is a negative
