B.) 3

C.) -1/3

D.) -3

Answer 1

Hi there! :)

Explanation:

Lesson: Slope and slope-intercept form

`SLOPE=(Y_2-Y_1)/(X_2-X_1)=(RISE)/(RUN)`

`(2-(-4))/(3-1)=(6)/(2)=3`

Slope is 3

Final answer is 3.

*The answer must have a positive sign.*

I hope this helps you!

Have a nice day! :)

Answer 2
