- ( -9, -7)
------------
x, y ; then stack y/x for the slope

Answer 8

10 and 9

Answer 9

good;

x=10, y=9 ; so... y/x = 9/10 = slope

Answer 10

ok

Answer 11

the "formula" goes thru the same process, but you have to make sure your placing the values in correctly; and i never do :)

Answer 12

well thanks anyhow
