Answer:

The answer is - 1

Explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula


m = ( y_2 - y _ 1)/(x_ 2 - x_ 1) \\

From the question the points are

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

The slope is


m = ( - 5 - - 3)/(3 - 1) = ( - 5 + 3)/(2) = - (2)/(2) = - 1 \\

We have the final answer as

- 1

Hope this helps you
