Please help! 20 points thanks :)

Answer 1

`-(3)/(4)`

Explanation:

The equation for slope is:

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

We can plug the given coordinates into the equation:

`Slope=(-5-(-2))/(3-(-1))=(-5+2)/(3+1)=(-3)/(4)=-(3)/(4)`

Answer 2

C)
`-(3)/(4)`

Explanation:

Slope can be found using the change in y over the change in x

-> See attached, it is difficult to type out here

`(-5--2)/(3--1) =(-5+2)/(3+1) =(-3)/(4)`

Giving us an answer of C)
`(-3)/(4)`
