(6,4)(-8,11)
\n" ); document.write( "Use the formula for the slope (m)of a line:
\n" ); document.write( "m = $\"%28%28y2+-+y1%29+%2F%28+x2+-x1%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "x1 = 6
\n" ); document.write( "y1 = 4
\n" ); document.write( ".

\n" ); document.write( "Plug the values into the formula to solve for the slope of a line (m).
