Find the slope (rate of change) of a line that passes through (–
2, –3) and (1, 1).

4/3
The slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the formula:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Using the given points (-2, -3) and (1, 1), we have:
slope = (1 - (-3)) / (1 - (-2))
= (1 + 3) / (1 + 2)
= 4 / 3
Therefore, the slope (rate of change) of the line is 4/3.
