To find the slope of the line that goes through the given points, we can use the formula for slope:
slope = (change in y) / (change in x)
Let's calculate the change in y and the change in x:
Change in y: 5 - (-4) = 9
Change in x: 2 - (-1) = 3
Now, we can calculate the slope:
slope = change in y / change in x = 9 / 3 = 3
Therefore, the slope of the line that goes through the given points is 3.
