Find the slope (rate of change) of a line that passes through (-2, -3) and (1, 1).
(1 point)
A.) 1/3
B.) 1
C.) 2
D.) 4/3
The formula for the slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
In this case, the two points are (-2, -3) and (1, 1).
Therefore, the slope is:
slope = (1 - (-3)) / (1 - (-2))
= (1 + 3) / (1 + 2)
= 4 / 3
So, the slope (rate of change) of the line passing through these two points is 4/3.
Answer: D) 4/3
