Find the slope of the line which passes through (1, 1) and (2, -2).
-------------
The slope, m, is the (diff in y)/(diff in x)
m = (-2-1)/(2-1)
m = -3

Find the slope of the line which passes through (1, 1) and (2,-2)
To find the slop of line passing through two points you use the following formula:
m=%28y1-y2%29%2F%28x1-x2%29
where (x1,y1) are the coordinates of the first point (1,1)
and (x2,y2) coordinates of second point (2,-2)
Substitute all given numbers in the formula and calculate m
