Answer:

m = rise / run = 2/1 = 2

Explanation:

The line shown passes through (-2, -1) and (-1, 1).

The horizontal distance moved is -1 - (-2), or 1 (this is the 'run'), and the vertical distance moved is 1 - (-1) = 2 (this is the 'rise')

Thus, the slope of the given line is m = rise / run = 2/1 = 2
