Question

Find the slope of the line through the points (-3, 1) and (-1,5).

Answer 1

See below.

Explanation:

(-3,1) and (-1,5)

The formula for finding slope is (y²- y¹)/(x²- x¹).

(5-1)/(-1-(-3))

(4)/(2)

2

The slope would be 2.

Answer 2

Hi! I hope you're enjoying your day!

Use the Slope formula:

`\bold{\displaystyle(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)}`

`\bold{\displaystyle(5-1)/(-1-(-3))}`

`\bold{\displaystyle(4)/(-1+3) =(4)/(2) =2}`

Hence, the slope is

`\boxed{\boxed{\bold{2}}}`

Hope everything is clear.
