What is the slope of the line that passes through (-2,-3) and (1,1)?
A.-2
B.-1
C.1
D.2
m = Δy/Δx = (1-(-3))/(1-(-2)) = 4/3
I suspect a typo somewhere.
Well the slope is -2/3.. So there must be a typo in the questions or the options.
Hope it helped :)
To find the slope of a line passing through two points, you can use the formula:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Let's plug in the coordinates of the given points:
(x1, y1) = (-2, -3)
(x2, y2) = (1, 1)
Now we can substitute these values into the formula:
slope = (1 - (-3)) / (1 - (-2))
Simplifying:
slope = (1 + 3) / (1 + 2)
slope = 4 / 3
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (-2, -3) and (1, 1) is 4/3.
None of the given answer choices match the calculated slope of 4/3.
