The slope
$m = \frac{4}{3}$ $m=(4)/(3$

The coordinates provided are
$(2, - 3) = x_{1}, y_{1}$ $(2,-3) = color(blue)(x_1,y_1$

$(5, 1) = x_{2}, y_{2}$ $(5,1) = color(blue)(x_2,y_2$

The slope is found using formula
$m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1$

$m = \frac{1 - (- 3)}{5 - 2}$ $m=(1-(-3))/(5-2$

$m = \frac{4}{3}$ $m=(4)/(3$

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: (2, -3) , (5,1)(2,−3),(5,1) (2, -3) , (5,1)?
