Note: is the first point . So this means that \"x%5B1%5D=5\" and \"y%5B1%5D=0\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Also, is the second point . So this means that \"x%5B2%5D=-6\" and \"y%5B2%5D=-4\".\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=%28-4-0%29%2F%28-6-5%29\" Plug in \"y%5B2%5D=-4\", \"y%5B1%5D=0\", \"x%5B2%5D=-6\", and \"x%5B1%5D=5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%28-4%29%2F%28-6-5%29\" Subtract \"0\" from \"-4\" to get \"-4\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%28-4%29%2F%28-11%29\" Subtract \"5\" from \"-6\" to get \"-11\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"m=4%2F11\" Reduce\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=4%2F11\"\r
