anonymous · Answer

use the slope formula

anonymous · Answer

i believe it would be D

anonymous · Answer

don't think so

anonymous · Answer

y2-y1 / x2-x1 = m
-1-4 / 2 + 3 = -5/5 = -1  is m or the slope

anonymous · Answer

An easy pneumonic for remembering how to calculate the slope is "rise over run." Select one of your points as a starting point, how far above this point is your next point on the y-axis? Relative to your starting point, how far away on the x-axis is your next point? Put these two numbers in a division problem and that's your slope!
