"Find the slope of the line through the given points.
(-11, -17) and (4, -7)"

y2 - y1
-------- = slope
x2 - x1

-7 - (-17)
---------- = slope {substituted into slope formula}
4 - (-11)

-7 + 17
-------- = slope {simplified the double negative signs}
4 + 11

10
--- = slope {added on top and bottom}
15

= 2/3 {reduced}
