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


m=%28212-32%29%2F%28100-0%29 Plug in y%5B2%5D=212, y%5B1%5D=32, x%5B2%5D=100, x%5B1%5D=0, ,


m=%28180%29%2F%28100-0%29 Subtract 32 from 212 to get 180


m=%28180%29%2F%28100%29 Subtract 0 from 100 to get 100


m=9%2F5 Reduce


So the slope of the line that goes through the points and is m=9%2F5
