Answer:


-\frac35

Explanation:

Slope Formula =
(y_1-y_2)/(x_1-x_2)

Using this formula we can input the different y-values and x-values

Slope =
(-2-1)/(2-(-3))

=
(-3)/(5)

⚠️Watch out for "double negatives⚠️

Double negatives are when you subtract a negative number. This is very common in finding slope.

We encountered a double negative: 2 - (-3). Remember to use parenthesis for negative numbers and make sure that "-(-" is always "+"

The slope of this line is
-\frac35
