The slope, m, is defined as \"m=%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29\". It doesn't matter which ordered pair is \"x%5B1%5D\",\"y%5B1%5D\" and \"x%5B2%5D\",\"y%5B2%5D\" because you'll get the same answer. Using substitution we get \"m=%283%2B4%29%2F%28-1-3%29\" which reduces to a slope of \"-expr%287%2F4%29\". \n" ); document.write( "
