Answer 2

@zpupster

Answer 3

these are (x,y) points
m=slope
\[m=\frac{ (y_2-y_1) }{ (x_2-x_1) }\]

plug in your points
m=2-(-1)/-3-(-1) do the math that is your sliope

Answer 4

@zpupster i got 1.3 though

Answer 5

you could do this by counting.
put your finger on the point (-3,2)
now count how many boxes straight down until you are even with point (-1,-1)
how many do you count ?

Answer 6

ok

Answer 7

how many do you count ?

Answer 8

3

Answer 9

yes. that is the change in y. (y is up/down)
because we went down, it is -3

now count to the right until you are at point (-1,-1)
how many steps over ?

Answer 10

2

Answer 11

yes.
2 is the change in x. It is +2 because we are going to the right. (if we had to go left, it would be minus)

finally, slope is change in y divided by change in x
so slope is
-3/2
