Algebra.Com's Answer #659377 by jim_thompson5910(35256)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Step 1) Subtract the y values: -12 minus 2 = -14\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 2) Subtract the x values (same order as you did the y values): 2 minus -3 = 2+3 = 5\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 3) Divide the differences. Divide the y difference over the x difference to get -14/5\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The slope, as a fraction, is -14/5 \n" ); document.write( " |
