Formula for the slope

         y%5B2%5D+-+y%5B1%5D

    m =  ____________

         x%5B2%5D+-+x%5B1%5D



Given point (11,2) and (5,12)



Let (11, 2) be %28x%5B1%5D%29,%28y%5B1%5D%29

    (5, 12)  be %28x%5B2%5D%29, %28y%5B2%5D%29



Substitute:

         12 - 2

   m =  _________

         5 - 11



          10

   m =   _____

         - 6





           5

or  m =  ______

           3
