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

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

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

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