Given Coordinates: x1 = 1 y1 = -1, x2 = 2 y2 = -3
Slope Formula: m =
Substitute the given coordinates into the Slope Formula and Simplify:m =
m = -2
Therefore, the Slope of a Line given points (1, -1) and (2, -3) is equal to -2
Slope Formula: m =
y2 − y1/x2 − x1
Substitute the given coordinates into the Slope Formula and Simplify:m =
-3 − (-1)/2 − 1
m = -3 + 1/2 − 1
m = -2/1
m = -2
Therefore, the Slope of a Line given points (1, -1) and (2, -3) is equal to -2
