Here provided two points:

  • (-1, 2) and (4, 3)

Formula:

[tex]\sf slope: \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2- x_1} \ \ where \ (x_1 , \ y_1), ( x_2 , \ y_2) \ are \ points[/tex]

Using formula, substitute values:

[tex]\sf slope = \dfrac{3-2}{4-(-1)}[/tex]

[tex]\sf slope = \dfrac{1}{4+1}[/tex]

[tex]\sf slope = \dfrac{1}{5}[/tex]
