\n" ); document.write( "Note: is the first point . So this means that \"x%5B1%5D=-6\" and \"y%5B1%5D=-12\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Also, is the second point . So this means that \"x%5B2%5D=-18\" and \"y%5B2%5D=-24\".\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=%28-24--12%29%2F%28-18--6%29\" Plug in \"y%5B2%5D=-24\", \"y%5B1%5D=-12\", \"x%5B2%5D=-18\", and \"x%5B1%5D=-6\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%28-12%29%2F%28-18--6%29\" Subtract \"-12\" from \"-24\" to get \"-12\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%28-12%29%2F%28-12%29\" Subtract \"-6\" from \"-18\" to get \"-12\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"m=1\" 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=1\"\r
