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


m=%280-2%29%2F%280-3%29 Plug in y%5B2%5D=0, y%5B1%5D=2, x%5B2%5D=0, and x%5B1%5D=3


m=%28-2%29%2F%280-3%29 Subtract 2 from 0 to get -2


m=%28-2%29%2F%28-3%29 Subtract 3 from 0 to get -3


m=2%2F3 Reduce


So the slope of the line that goes through the points and is m=2%2F3
