Find the slope of the line that passes through (-1,-3) and (-2,2)
The slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) can be calculated using the formula:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Given the points (-1, -3) and (-2, 2), we can substitute the values into the formula:
slope = (2 - (-3)) / (-2 - (-1))
= (2 + 3) / (-2 + 1)
= 5 / (-1)
= -5
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (-1, -3) and (-2, 2) is -5.
