Explanation:

Use this formula to find slope.

y2-y1/x2-x1

Answer:


\boxed {m = -(3)/(4)}

Explanation:

Use the Slope Formula to help you determine the slope of the two following points:


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

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

-Apply both points to the formula:


(x_(1), y_(1)) = (-2, 1)


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


m = (-2 - 1)/(2 + 2)

-Solve:


m = (-2 - 1)/(2 + 2)


m = (-3)/(4)


\boxed {m = -(3)/(4)}

Therefore, the slope is
-(3)/(4).
