Find the slope of the line passing through the points (–8, –3) and (–2, 2).
\n" ); document.write( "The formula for finding the slope when given two points is: $\"highlight%28m=%28y2-y1%29%2F%28x2-x1%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(x1,y1)=(-8,-3) and (x2,y2)=(-2,2)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m=%282-%28-3%29%29%2F%28-2-%28-8%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m=%282%2B3%29%2F%28-2%2B8%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m=5%2F6\"$
