Slope of a Line given points (-1, 1) and (0, -2)

Given Coordinates: x1 = -1  y1 = 1,  x2 = 0  y2 = -2
Slope Formula: m  =  
y2 − y1/x2 − x1

Substitute the given coordinates into the Slope Formula and Simplify:
m  =  
-2 − 1/0 − (-1)
m  =  
-2 − 1/0 + 1
m  =  
-3/1

m  =  -3
Therefore, the Slope of a Line given points (-1, 1) and (0, -2) is equal to -3
