E 11 У2 У1 X2 -X1 Find the slope of the line that passes through these two points. (-1,-2) (-4,-1) Enter the correct symbol, + or -. m = [?] H Enter

Answer 1

Given a line passes through the points (-1,-2) and (-4,-1)

The slope will be calculated as follows:

`slope=m=(rise)/(run)=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`
`m=(-1-(-2))/(-4-(-1))=(-1+2)/(-4+1)=(1)/(-3)=-(1)/(3)`

So, the answer is slope = m = -1/3
