: Would appreciate some help for:
.......y2 - y1
m = ________; find m when y2=8, y1=-4, x2=-3, and x1=-5
.......x2 - x1
I have never ask for help before---I am returning to college and need math help
Thank you very much and if their are other good on line sources you know please advise
thanks (note i gave you the wrong isbn number--will correct)_

Use the formula for the slope (m) of a straight line:
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Plug in the values:
m =(8-(-4))/(-3-(-5))
Simplify:
(8+4)/(-3+5) = (12)/(2) = 6
