Answer 1

`\huge \orange{ - (3)/(4) } \\`

Explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

`m = ( y_2 - y _ 1)/(x_ 2 - x_ 1) \\`

From the question we have

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

We have the final answer as

`- (3)/(4) \\`

Hope this helps you
