FIND THE SLOPE OF THE LINE CONTAINING THE PAIR OF POINTS: (-9-5),(4-3)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You should know the slope formula: m = $\"%28y2-y1%29%2F%28x2-x1%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "Assign the given points as follows;
\n" ); document.write( "x1 = -9; y1 = -5
\n" ); document.write( "x2 = 4; y2 = -3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "m = $\"%28-3+-+%28-5%29%29%2F%284+-+%28-9%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "minus a minus is a plus therefore:
\n" ); document.write( "m = $\"%28-3+%2B+5%29%2F%284+%2B+9%29\"$ = $\"2%2F13\"$ is the slope \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
