Slope is %28%28y%5E1-y%5E2%29%29%2F%28%28x%5E1-x%5E2%29%29
To find the slope of line A(−1, 6) and B(5, 2)
%286-2%29%2F%28-1-5%29
4-4=1

y1=6
x2=5
y2=2
slope %282-6%29%2F%285-%28-1%29%29
-4%2F6
-2%2F3

A(−1, 6) and B(5, 2)
slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
here x1=-1
y1=6
x2=5
y2=2
so slope = (2-6)/(5-(-1))
= -4/6
-2/3
