Question

The slope of the lineing through the points (3,1) and (-2,4) is

Answer 1

`\boxed { m = -3}`

Explanation:

Use the Slope Formula to help you find the slope of the two given points:

`m = (y_(2) - y_(1))/(x_(2) - x_(1))`

(where
`(x_(1), y_(1))` represents the first point and
`(x_(2), y_(2))` represents the second point)

-Apply the given points onto the formula:

`(x_(1), y_(1)) = (3, 1)`

`(x_(2), y_(2)) = (-2, 4)`

`m = (4 - 1)/(-2 - 3)`

Solve for the slope:

`m = (4 - 1)/(-2 - 3)`

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

`\boxed { m = -3}`

Therefore, the slope is
`-3`.
