I have the same problem so far This is,what I put in my work
Slope = rise/run
Slope= y2-y/x2-x1
In your points
-3(x1),3(y1)
1 (x2), -5 (y2)
Now:
-5-3/1--3
-2/4
Slope is -0.5 or -1/2
I am really not understanding how to find the slope. I have a graph with the coordinates (-3,3) and (1,-5). If someone could help explain how to find the slope it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks! I added this example to my notes and was able to solve the rest of the problems! You have no idea how grateful I am!
Nope. y2 = -5, not 5
(-5-3)/(1 - -3) = -8/4 = -2
(-5-3)/(1 - -3) = -8/4 = -2
