To find the slope of a line that passes through the points \((-1, -2)\) and \((1, 1)\), you can use the slope formula:
\[
m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
\]
Here, \((x_1, y_1) = (-1, -2)\) and \((x_2, y_2) = (1, 1)\). Plugging in the values, we have:
\[
m = \frac{1 - (-2)}{1 - (-1)} = \frac{1 + 2}{1 + 1} = \frac{3}{2}
\]
So, the slope of the graph is \(\frac{3}{2}\).
