Recall the definition of slope please :-)

Answer 3

i think its -2

Answer 4

If (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points on the line, then the slope can be found by the attached formula.

Answer 5

Slope = rise/run

Answer 6

(-1, 3) and (1, -1) are points are the segment

You can run those through the formula.
