Answer:
Slope = - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is usually denoted by the letter m and given by the formula
[tex]m = \dfrac {(y_{2} - y_{1})} {(x_{2} - x_{1})}[/tex]
Here we are given the two points as P(-4, --1) and Q(-3, -3)
So mapping the given points to (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) we get
x1 = -4, x2 = -3
y1 = -1, y2 = -3
Plugging these values into the slope formula, we get
Slope
[tex]m = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\\\\\\m = \dfrac{-3 - -1}{-3 - -4}\\\\\\m = \dfrac{-2}{1}\\\\\\m = -2\\\\\\[/tex]
