Note: is the first point . So this means that \"x%5B1%5D=2\" and \"y%5B1%5D=5\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Also, is the second point . So this means that \"x%5B2%5D=-3\" 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=%284-5%29%2F%28-3-2%29\" Plug in \"y%5B2%5D=4\", \"y%5B1%5D=5\", \"x%5B2%5D=-3\", and \"x%5B1%5D=2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%28-1%29%2F%28-3-2%29\" Subtract \"5\" from \"4\" to get \"-1\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%28-1%29%2F%28-5%29\" Subtract \"2\" from \"-3\" to get \"-5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"m=1%2F5\" 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=1%2F5\"
