Note: is the first point . So this means that x%5B1%5D=0 and y%5B1%5D=0.
Also, is the second point . So this means that x%5B2%5D=-11 and y%5B2%5D=-10.


m=%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29 Start with the slope formula.


m=%28-10-0%29%2F%28-11-0%29 Plug in y%5B2%5D=-10, y%5B1%5D=0, x%5B2%5D=-11, and x%5B1%5D=0


m=%28-10%29%2F%28-11-0%29 Subtract 0 from -10 to get -10


m=%28-10%29%2F%28-11%29 Subtract 0 from -11 to get -11


m=10%2F11 Reduce


So the slope of the line that goes through the points and is m=10%2F11
