Solution:
\n" ); document.write( "Slope the the line : Formula
\n" ); document.write( "
$\"m+=+Rise%2FRun\"$
\n" ); document.write( "
$\"m+=+Vertical+Change+%2F+Horizontal+Change\"$
\n" ); document.write( "
$\"+m+=+%28y%5B2%5D+-+y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D+-+x%5B1%5D%29\"$ , $\"x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D+%26%238800%3B+0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "
Given 2 points [-5,-3] and [-2,6]
\n" ); document.write( "
Let (-5,-3)=(x1,y1)
\n" ); document.write( " (-2,6)=(x2,y2)
\n" ); document.write( "
Substitute the formula\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"m+=+%286-%28-3%29%29%2F%28-2-%28-5%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( " $\"m+=+%286%2B3%29%2F%28-2%2B5%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( " $\"m+=+9%2F3\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
