\n" ); document.write( "Note: is the first point . So this means that \"x%5B1%5D=3\" and \"y%5B1%5D=6\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Also, is the second point . So this means that \"x%5B2%5D=-6\" and \"y%5B2%5D=0\".\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=%280-6%29%2F%28-6-3%29\" Plug in \"y%5B2%5D=0\", \"y%5B1%5D=6\", \"x%5B2%5D=-6\", and \"x%5B1%5D=3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%28-6%29%2F%28-6-3%29\" Subtract \"6\" from \"0\" to get \"-6\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%28-6%29%2F%28-9%29\" Subtract \"3\" from \"-6\" to get \"-9\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"m=2%2F3\" 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=2%2F3\"
