Note: is the first point . So this means that \"x%5B1%5D=3%2F2\" and \"y%5B1%5D=-3\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Also, is the second point . So this means that \"x%5B2%5D=0\" and \"y%5B2%5D=2%2F5\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29\" Start with the slope formula.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%282%2F5--3%29%2F%280-3%2F2%29\" Plug in \"y%5B2%5D=2%2F5\", \"y%5B1%5D=-3\", \"x%5B2%5D=0\", and \"x%5B1%5D=3%2F2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%2817%2F5%29%2F%280-3%2F2%29\" Subtract \"-3\" from \"2%2F5\" to get \"2%2F5--3=2%2F5%2B3=2%2F5%2B15%2F5=%282%2B15%29%2F5=17%2F5\"\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%2817%2F5%29%2F%28-3%2F2%29\" Subtract \"3%2F2\" from \"0\" to get \"-3%2F2\"\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%2817%2F5%29%2A%28-2%2F3%29\" Multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"m=-34%2F15\" Multiply.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the slope of the line that goes through the points and is \"m=-34%2F15\"\r
