Answer 1

The slope of UV = 4

Explanation:

Given the points

• U(3, 1)

• V(-1, 2)

Finding the slope of UV

`\mathrm{Slope}=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-1,\:1\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(-2,\:-3\right)`

`m=(-3-1)/(-2-\left(-1\right))`

`m=4`

Thus, the slope of UV = 4
