Answer:

C

Explanation:

We are given a line that contains the two points (-3, 3) and (-1, -1) and we want to determine the slope of the line.

To find the slope of a line given any two points, we can consider using the slope formula:


\displaystyle m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Where (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are the two points.

We have the two points (-3, 3) and (-1, -1).

So, let (-3, 3) be (x₁, y₁) and let (-1, -1) be (x₂, y₂).

Substitute and evaluate:


\displaystyle\begin{aligned} m&=((-1)-(3))/((-1)-(-3))\\ \\ &= (-1 -3 )/(-1 + 3) \\ \\ &= (-4)/(2) \\ \\ &= -2\end{aligned}

So, the slope of the line is -2.

In conclusion, our answer is C.
