Find the slope of the line containing the points (2,7) and (-1,-8).
:
the slope formula: m =
Assign the given points as follows
x1=2; y1=7
x2=-1; y2=-8
So you have
m = = = +5 is the slope

I think you are having trouble with signs. You must be
very careful with signs:
(2,7) and (-1,-8)
x1 = 2
y1 = 7
x2 = -1
y2 = -8
Substitute carefully using parentheses
