\"Ihave to find the equation of a slope in my home, place of employment or car for an algebra assignment. I have chosen to use the screen of my laptop.
\n" ); document.write( "This is what i have come up with. Could you please tell me if I am doing it right?
\n" ); document.write( "M=y2-y1/x2-x1
\n" ); document.write( "y2= -3
\n" ); document.write( "y1= 1
\n" ); document.write( "x2= 6
\n" ); document.write( "x1= 4
\n" ); document.write( "therefore M= -3-1/6-4
\n" ); document.write( "M= -4/2 = -2
\n" ); document.write( "the slope would be - 2
\n" ); document.write( "Thank you for your assistance.
