-1
1
0
1/2

vocaloid · Answer

slope = m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

let (1,-3) be (x1,y1) and let (3,-5) be (x2,y2)

anonymous · Answer

Can you explain further?

vocaloid · Answer

slope = m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

x1 = 1
x2 = 3
y1 = -3
y2 = -5

Thank you all :) I understand now

imqwerty · Answer

If we r given any two points like-
(x1,y1)  and (x2,y2) then the slope m

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) 

Plug in x1, x2,,  y1,  y2 and get  the answer
