You can put this solution on YOUR website!
slope = ( change in y ) / ( change in x )
( 5/6, -2 ) and ( -1/3, -1/3 )
slope = +%28+-1%2F3+-%28-2%29+%29+%2F+%28+-1%2F3+-+5%2F6+%29+
-----------------------
+%28+-1%2F3+%2B+2+%29+%2F+%28+-7%2F6+%29+
----------------------
+%285%2F3%29+%2F+%28+-7%2F6+%29+
----------------
+%28+10%2F6+%29+%2F+%28+-7%2F6+%29+
-------------------
+-%2810%2F7%29+
