Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The points are (-1,-) and (3,0) . The slope formula is given by m=yy1xx1m=\frac{y_{}-y_{1}}{x_{}-x_{1}}

STEP 2

The slope formula is given by m=y2y1x2x1m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}. The inputs to the slope formula are the coordinates of the two points.

STEP 3

The coordinates of the first point are x1=1x_{1}=-1 and y1=2y_{1}=-2.

STEP 4

The coordinates of the second point are x2=3x_{2}=3 and y2=0y_{2}=0.

STEP 5

Substitute the coordinates of the points into the slope formula.
m=02[?](1)m=\frac{0--2}{[?]-(-1)}

STEP 6

We can see that the unknown in the formula is in the denominator and corresponds to x2x_{2}.

STEP 7

Therefore, the input to the slope formula is x2=3x_{2}=3.
The answer is D.3.
