Hint: remember that the formula \"m=%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29\" is used to find the slope. In this case, is the first point which means \"x%5B1%5D=5\" and \"y%5B1%5D=7\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Also is the second point which means that \"x%5B2%5D=2\" and \"y%5B2%5D=-3\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now plug these values along with \"m=4%2F3\" into the given slope formula to get: \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"4%2F3=%28-3-r%29%2F%282-5%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I'll let you solve for 'r' from here.
