Answer:

Slope = -2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = change in y / change in x OR the rise/run

Slope = (5 - 1)/(-3 -3)

Slope = 4/-6

Slope = -2/3

Solution :

As we know that,

  • [tex] \boxed{\red{\bf{Slope \: (m) \: = \: \dfrac{y_{2} \: - \: y_{1} }{x_{2} \: - \:x_{1}} }}} \: \bigstar[/tex]

We have :

  • [tex]\sf{x_1 \: = \: -3}[/tex]
  • [tex]\sf{y_1 \: = \: 5}[/tex]
  • [tex]\sf{x_2 \: = \: 3}[/tex]
  • [tex]\sf{y_2 \: = \: 1}[/tex]

Substituting the values :

[tex] \longmapsto \: \sf{Slope \: (m) \: = \: \dfrac{1 \: - \: 5 }{3 \: - \: ( - 3)} } \\ \\ \longmapsto \: \sf{Slope \: (m) \: = \: \dfrac{1 \: - \: 5 }{3 \: + \: 3} } \\ \\ \longmapsto \: \sf{Slope \: (m) \: = \: \dfrac{ - 4}{6} } \\ \\ \longmapsto \: \sf{Slope \: (m) \: = \: \cancel\dfrac{ - 4}{6} } \\ \\ \longmapsto \: \bf{ \orange{Slope \: (m) \: = \: \dfrac{ - 2}{3} }}[/tex]
