The slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Plugging in the points (-3, -1) and (3, 3):
m = (3 - (-1)) / (3 - (-3))
m = (3 + 1) / (3 + 3)
m = 4 / 6
m = 2 / 3
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (-3, -1) and (3, 3) is two thirds.
What is the slope of the line that contains the points (−3, −1) and (3, 3)?
