Question

The slope of a line that passes through points (-1, -3) and (-2,5) is:
m = 4.
m = 8.
None of these choices are correct.
m = -8.
m = -4.

Answer 1

Answer:

m = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula: $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

$m=\frac{5+3}{-2+1} =\frac{8}{-1} =-8$

m = -8
