The slope of a line passing through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by the formula:
m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
In this case, the points are (-2, -3) and (1, 1). Substituting the coordinates into the formula:
m = (1 - (-3)) / (1 - (-2))
m = 4 / 3
So, the slope of the line is 4/3.
Find the slope (rate of change) of a line that passes through (-2, -3) and (1, 1).
