Given Coordinates: x1 = -3 y1 = 1, x2 = 0 y2 = -3
Slope Formula: m =
Substitute the given coordinates into the Slope Formula and Simplify:m =
Therefore, the Slope of a Line given points (-3, 1) and (0, -3) is equal to –
Note: As a decimal number, –
Slope Formula: m =
y2 − y1/x2 − x1
Substitute the given coordinates into the Slope Formula and Simplify:m =
-3 − 1/0 − (-3)
m = -3 − 1/0 + 3
m = -4/3
m = – 4/3
Therefore, the Slope of a Line given points (-3, 1) and (0, -3) is equal to –
4/3
Note: As a decimal number, –
4/3
