The slope of the line that passes through (–3, 3) and (1, –5) is –2

Solution:

Given slope of the line passes through two points (–3, 3) and (1, –5).

Formula for the slope of the line passes through two points is


m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Here,
x_1=-3, x_2=1, y_1=3,y_2=-5

Substitute these in the slope formula, we get


m=((-5)-3)/(1-(-3))


m=(-5-3)/(1+3)


m=(-8)/(4)


m=-2

Hence, the slope of the line that passes through (–3, 3) and (1, –5) is –2.
