Answer 1

hello

to solve this question, we can use a formula

`\text{slope(m)}=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

let's write our co-ordinate values down

`\begin{gathered} y_2=2 \\ x_2=3 \\ y_1=-1 \\ x_1=-3 \end{gathered}`

we can imput the values into the equation

`\begin{gathered} m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ m=(2-(-1))/(3-(-3)) \\ m=(2+1)/(3+3) \\ m=(3)/(6) \\ m=(1)/(2)=0.5 \end{gathered}`

from the calculation above, the slope of the line is equal to 1/2 or 0.5
