We may find the slope of a line by using either of these two equations:
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%28y1-y2%29%2F%28x1-x2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%28y2-y1%29%2F%28x2-x1%29\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Points: (5,6) and (-1,-3)
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%28y1-y2%29%2F%28x1-x2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%286-%28-3%29%29%2F%285-%28-1%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%286%2B3%29%2F%285%2B1%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=9%2F6\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=3%2F2\" <--- here's the slope
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%28y2-y1%29%2F%28x2-x1%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%28-3-6%29%2F%28-1-5%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%28-9%29%2F%28-6%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=3%2F2\" <--- same answer; that's why we may use either equation
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "When we have two points, we may just plot them in the cartesian plane and trace a line through both of them to come up with the graph.
