I need to find the slope of some equations, but some have fractions with in the equations, which I am having difficulty solving. for instance
M: 0-4 (is the Y2 and Y1) divided by -2-3/2 (is the X2 and X1)
====================
slope = m = (0-4)/(-2-3/2)

= -4/(-3 1/2)
---
= -4/(-7/2)
---
= -8/-7
---
= 8/7
