The formula for slope is the following:
$\frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $(y_2 - y_1)/ (x_2 - x_1)$

Assuming m represents slope

m = $\frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $(y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)$

m = $\frac{- 3 - (- 2)}{2 - (- 1)}$ $(-3 - (-2)) / (2 - (-1))$

m = $- \frac{1}{3}$ $-1/3$

The slope is $- \frac{1}{3}$ $-1/3$ \

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: (-1, -2), (2,-3)(−1,−2),(2,−3)(-1, -2), (2,-3)?
