what is the slope of the line that passes through the points

what is the slope of the line that passes through the points (0,-2) and (-3,-1)

Solution

Let (x1,y1) = (0 , -2)

And let (x2,y2) = (-3 , -1)

Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Plug in the values, we get :

Slope = (-1 - (-2)) / (-3 - 0)

Slope = (-1 + 2) / -3

Slope = 1 / -3

Slope = -1 / 3 -----> ANSWER

-1 by 3 is the slope
