I graphed the line. How do I find the slope?
-
Slope = gradient
Formula for gradient:( y2-y1)/x2-x1)
In the case of your coordinates:
(-2-3)/(1-(-4)) = -5/5 = -1
Your graph should slope downwards from left to right because the gradient is negative.
Hope this helps.

slope = m = [change in y] / [change in x]
this is fundamental ! read your textbook...practice 1
[m = - 1]

y2-y1
-----------
x2-x1 -2-3=-5
1-(-4)=5 5/5 slope=1
-----------
x2-x1 -2-3=-5
1-(-4)=5 5/5 slope=1
