Explanation:

The slope of a line characterizes the direction of a line. To find the slope, you divide the difference of the y-coordinates of 2 points on a line by the difference of the x-coordinates of those same 2 points.

Answer:

4

Explanation:

slope, m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

plug in the values, and we get m = (3 - (-1))/((3 - 2) = 4

As x increases by 1, y increases by 4.
