Question

find the slope of the line passing through the point (-1, -3) and having an x-intercept of 2.

Answer 1

slope (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(-1,-3) x1 = -1 and y1 = -3
(2,0) x2 = 2 and y2 = 0
now we sub
slope(m) = (0 - (-3) / (2 - (-1)
slope(m) = (0 + 3) / (2 + 1)
slope(m) = 3/3 = 1

your slope is 1
