Answer:
Slope is given by the formula of:
[tex]\frac{y_{1}-y_{2}}{x_{1}-x_{2}}[/tex].
x1 and x2 are the x-coordinates of the points, and y1 and y2 are the y-coordinates. Therefore, we can substitute it into the formula:
[tex]\frac{-3 - 5}{-1 - 3}[/tex]
which simplifies to:
[tex]\frac{-8}{-4}[/tex]
which is 2. Thus, the slope is 2.
