Answer 1

Answer: A -3/4

Explanation:

Slope is the "Rise" over the "Run." Rise is the change in y for a corresponding change in x, the Run.

Pick any two points, but we only have (-3,1) and (1, -2), so we'll work with these.

The rise is (-2-1) = -3

The run is (1-(-3) = 4

The slope is (-3/4) or -(3/4)
