Use the slope formula to calculate the slope of the line that passes through (-1, 1) and (1, 3). Then repeat the process for (-1, 1) and (2, 3).

Use:



where and are the coordinates of the given points.

Once you have your two slope values, select any value between those two values, but not including either.

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
