\dashrightarrow\large\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{Answer and how to solve:-}}}

Use the slope formula:-


\boxed{(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)}


\bigstar Replace the letters with numbers:-


\sf{(3-1)/(3-(-3))}


\bigstar On simplification,


\sf{(2)/(3+3)}


\bigstar On further simplification,


\sf{(2)/(6)}


\bigstar Which results in


\boxed{\mathrm{Slope=(1)/(3)}}

Good luck with your studies.

Answer:

1/3

Explanation:

slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

= (3 -1)/ (3 - (-3))

= 2/ 6

= 1/3
