Slope means, vertical change divided by horizontal change.

Variable m is often chosen for slope.
The formula for slope for two points (p,w) and (h,k) is .

On my homework it says "Find the value of r so the line passes through each pair of points has the given slope" and one of the questions is (r,3), (5,9), m=2
I have no idea what to do because I was gone the day we learned this.

Formula for m, or slope:
Therefore,
In this case: (r, 3) is (), while (5, 9) is ()
Substitute to find r.
