To find the slope, we must have two points
--> Two points: (-3,1) and (-1, -5)
The slope's formula is --> [tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]
- (x1, y1) --> (-3,1)
- (x2, y2) --> (-1, -5)
So the slope = [tex]\frac{-5-1}{-1--3} =\frac{-6}{2} =-3[/tex]
The line graphed below has a slope of -3
Hope that helped!
