Find the slope of the line passing through the points (–8, –3) and (–2, 2).\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Use the slope formula: $\"highlight%28m=%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29%29\"$ , where m=slope, (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are two given points. (It may be easier to remember the slope as the change in y over the change in x.)
\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( " $\"m=%282%2B3%29%2F%28-2%2B8%29\"$
