You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The formula for slope means vertical change divided by horizontal change.
If your points are (x,y) and (u,v) then the slope of these two points is %28y-v%29%2F%28x-u%29.

The values to use ARE GIVEN in the problem description. SUBSTITUTE THEM INTO THE FORMULA and evaluate.

You are supposed to evaluate or compute this: %2815-8%29%2F%28-2-%28-2%29%29;
and you should find something wrong with this expression. Do you know what this is? What does this mean? What does this line look like as a graph?
