What is the slope of the line containing (-3, 1) and (1, -2)?

Answer: The answer is C, -3/4.
Explanation: First graph the points, then add the straight line through them and to find the slope you do rise/run, formula being y2-y1/x2-x1. This means putting the second y value minus the first y value and dividing that by the second x value minus the first x value. Then simplify.
