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


m=%289-0%29%2F%282-1%29 Plug in y%5B2%5D=9, y%5B1%5D=0, x%5B2%5D=2, x%5B1%5D=1, ,


m=%289%29%2F%282-1%29 Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9


m=%289%29%2F%281%29 Subtract 1 from 2 to get 1


m=9 Reduce


So the slope of the line that goes through the points and is m=9
