Slope of the line through the points (-1, 2) and (-3, -7)



m+=+%28y%5B2%5D+-+y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D+-+x%5B1%5D%29


m+=+%28y%5B2%5D+-+y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D+-+%28x%5B1%5D%29%29


m+=+%28-7+-+2%29%2F%28-3+-+%28-1%29%29


m+=+%28-7+-+2%29%2F%28-3+%2B+1%29


m+=+%28-9%29%2F%28-2%29


m+=+9%2F2



Answer: Slope is m+=+9%2F2
