Answer :
We can take the two points given and plug them into the slope formula.
[tex]\sf~m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
(-3, 3), (1, -5)
x1 y1 x2 y2
[tex]\sf~m=\dfrac{-5-3}{1-(-3)}[/tex]
Subtract:
[tex]\sf~m=\dfrac{-8}{4}[/tex]
Divide:
[tex]\sf~m=-2[/tex]
[tex]\sf~m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
(-3, 3), (1, -5)
x1 y1 x2 y2
[tex]\sf~m=\dfrac{-5-3}{1-(-3)}[/tex]
Subtract:
[tex]\sf~m=\dfrac{-8}{4}[/tex]
Divide:
[tex]\sf~m=-2[/tex]
