Find the slope of the line that contains the points (2.346, –0.215) and (4.492, –3.322). Round to the nearest thousandth.
-------------
Slope m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (-3.322 - (-0.215))/(4.492 - 2.346)
m = -3.107/2.146
m = -1.448 (unless I made a mistake. Anyway, you see how it's done which is what matters.)
