Can you help me to solve these two please?
**Question 3**

**What is the slope of the line below?**

The image shows a Cartesian coordinate system with both the x-axis and y-axis ranging from -5 to 5. A straight line is plotted on this graph.

- The line passes through two points:
  - Point 1: (-2, -4)
  - Point 2: (2, 2)

To find the slope (m) of the line, use the formula:

\[ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \]

Substitute the coordinates of the two points into the formula:

\[ m = \frac{2 - (-4)}{2 - (-2)} = \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2} \]

The slope of the line is \( \frac{3}{2} \).

**Question 1**

The image shows a coordinate plane with both x and y axes labeled. The x-axis ranges from -5 to 5, and the y-axis ranges from -3 to 5. 

A straight line is graphed, passing through the points (2, -3) and (4, 3). The line has a positive slope, indicating that as x increases, y also increases. This suggests a linear function with a positive correlation between x and y values. The line continues beyond the given points, extending indefinitely in both the positive x and y direction as well as towards the negative x and y direction. 

In the input box below the graph, the number "3" is displayed. This could potentially represent a solution or answer related to the graph, such as the slope, intercept, or another calculated value.
