Note: is the first point . So this means that \"x%5B1%5D=-6\" and \"y%5B1%5D=-5\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Also, is the second point . So this means that \"x%5B2%5D=-10\" and \"y%5B2%5D=-16\".\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=%28-16--5%29%2F%28-10--6%29\" Plug in \"y%5B2%5D=-16\", \"y%5B1%5D=-5\", \"x%5B2%5D=-10\", and \"x%5B1%5D=-6\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%28-11%29%2F%28-10--6%29\" Subtract \"-5\" from \"-16\" to get \"-11\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%28-11%29%2F%28-4%29\" Subtract \"-6\" from \"-10\" to get \"-4\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"m=11%2F4\" 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=11%2F4\"\r
