What is the slope of the line that passes through (-2,-3) and (1,1)

Slope:


Slope is rise over run. It is a ratio of the amount of the y-axis over the amount of x-axis. So, now assign the first group of numbers, (-2,-3) as 1; then the second group, (1,1) as 2. Like this:

Notice the subscripted numbers designate the group number. Next, plug in the numbers and do the math.

So, the slope, m, is equal to four thirds.

m = 4/3
