find the slope
(-3,4), (2,1)
m = ?
A: m = -3/5
To find the slope of a line given two points, you can use the formula:
m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
where (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are the coordinates of the two points.
In this case, the given points are (-3, 4) and (2, 1). So, we can substitute these values into the slope formula:
m = (1 - 4) / (2 - (-3))
m = (1 - 4) / (2 + 3)
m = (-3) / 5
m = -3/5
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (-3, 4) and (2, 1) is -3/5.
