find the slope of the line passing through the following points: (2,2) and (3, 1)

1 answer

The slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) can be found using the formula:

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

By substituting the given points into the formula, we have:

m = (1 - 2) / (3 - 2)
m = -1 / 1
m = -1

Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (2,2) and (3,1) is -1.
