take two points

  • (2,4)
  • (-3,-3)

Slope

  • m=y2-y1/x2-x1
  • m=-3-4/-3-2
  • m=-7/-5
  • m=7/5

Answer:


m=(7)/(5)

Explanation:

To find the slope of a line, find two points on the line and define them as follows:


\textsf{let}\:(x_1,y_1)=(-3,-3)


\textsf{let}\:(x_2,y_2)=(2,4)

Substitute the points in the slope formula and solve for m:


\begin{aligned}\textsf{slope}\:(m) & =(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)\\\\ & =(4-(-3))/(2-(-3))\\\\ & = (4+3)/(2+3)\\\\ & = (7)/(5)\end{aligned}

Therefore, the slope of the given line is
(7)/(5)
