PART A:

m=ΔyΔx=y2y1x2x1=1133(1)=84=2\begin{align*} m &= \dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}\\ &= \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\ &=\dfrac{11-3}{3-\left(-1\right)}\\ &=\dfrac{8}{4}\\ &=2 \end{align*}

Calculate the slope of the line that passes through these two points by dividing the difference in the yy-coordinates over the difference in the xx-coordinates.
