Find the slope (rate of change) of a line that passes through (–2, –3), and (1, 1).

Question

(1 point)

A) onethird

B) 1

C) 2

D) fourthirds

Answer 1

The slope can be calculated by using the formula:

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

Substitute the values from the points (–2, –3) and (1, 1):

Slope = (1 - (-3)) / (1 - (-2))
Slope = 4 / 3
Slope = 4/3

Therefore, the slope of the line that passes through these points is 4/3 or one-third.

Answer: A) onethird
