Question

A line passes through points (−3, 1) and (2, −3)(2, −3). What is the slope of the line parallel to the graph?

Answer 1

(-3,1), (2,-3) are two points that have line through them with slope =

"rise over run" = difference in y's over difference in x's= (1+3)/(-3-2)= -4/5 = -.8

slope = -4/5 = - 0.8
