You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The slope, m, of a line is defined as \"m=%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29\". For the two ordered pairs your provided, it doesn't matter which is which, you'll get the same answer. So, just substitute your values (ordered pairs) into the equation and get \"m=%28-3-6%29%2F%28-3-5%29\", which simplifies to \"m=-9%2F-8\", or \"m=9%2F8\".. \n" ); document.write( "
