Solved by pluggable solver: Finding the slope

To find the slope going from (2,6) to (-3,-3) we are going to calculate the change in y over the change in x, or the rise over the run. The change is the difference between the two coordinates. So if the y-coordinate of a point goes from 6 to -3, the change in these numbers is -9 (since ). If the x-coordinate changes from 2 to -3, then the change is -5 (since ). So to calculate the slope we use this formula: Slope: where m is the slope So now we let ,,,Now plug these numbers into the slope formula: So after simplification the slope is

A = (2,6)
D = (-3, -3)
This is just a matter of getting the subscripts right (the 1's and 2's)
The given points are going to end up being (),()
and (),().
You decide and either way it works.
A = (),()
D = (),()
That will work fine, and also
A = (),()
D = (),()
That works fine, too
I'll do it both ways to prove it
A = (2,6)
(2,6) = (),()
D = (-3, -3)
(-3, -3) = (),()




-----------------------------
Now the other way
A = (2,6)
(2,6) = (),()
d = (-3, -3)
(-3, -3) = (),()




So, you can't go wrong as long as you keep
straight which point is which. Hope this helps
