Question

Calculate the slope of the given line

Answer 1

Answer: the slope=-5/4

Explanation:

Find the two coordinates that are marked on this line: (-3,2) and (1,-3)

`\boxed {The\ slope=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) }`

`x_1=-3\ \ \ \ x_2=1 \ \ \ \ \ y_1=2 \ \ \ \ \ y_2=-3\\\\Hence,\\\\`

`\displaystyle\\The\ slope=(-3-2)/(1-(-3)) \\\\The\ slope=(-5)/(1+3) \\\\The\ slope=-(5)/(4)`
