slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
slope=(-3-4)/(6-2)
slope=-7/4 answer.

Ok you take the y number form the second point and subtract it with the y number from the first point.
so for example:
(2,4), (6, -3)
-3-4
so that equals -7.
then the next step you take the x number from the second point and subtract it with the x number from the first point.
so for example:
(2,4), (6, -3)
so you take:
6-2
so that equales 4.
so your slope is -7/4.
