The slope of a line can be found using the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1),
where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points on the line.
For the line that passes through the points A(-2, -1) and B(3, 5), we have:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (5 - (-1)) / (3 - (-2)) = 6 / 5 = 1.2
So the slope of the line that passes through the points A(-2, -1) and B(3, 5) is 1.2.

Not always. For example, try to find the slope of the line that passes through the points (3, 4) and (2, 3).
It is a straight line with no slope with a 'y' intercept of 2
Slope, m, equals (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). Slope is (8-2)/(8-2) or 1.
Another set of points are needed to find the slope.
Slope, m, equals (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). Slope is (0-(-1))/(0-(-1)) or 1/1 or 1.
It's not possible because the given points would be a vertical line parallel to the y axis
