You can put this solution on YOUR website!

\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "You were given two points:
\n" ); document.write( "(1. -3), (-3. 4)
\n" ); document.write( "(x1,y1) = (1. -3)
\n" ); document.write( "(x2,y2) = (-3. 4)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Slope is then defined as:
\n" ); document.write( "m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
\n" ); document.write( "m = (4-(-3))/(-3-1)
\n" ); document.write( "m = (4+3)/(-3-1)
\n" ); document.write( "m = 7/(-4)
\n" ); document.write( "m = -7/4 (this is your slope)
