-------
x2 - x1

do you know how to ?

Answer 5

no 6 years ago in high school i did lol

Answer 6

ok you have points (-5,-7) and (-8,-6)
x1 y1 x2 y2

Answer 7

ok

Answer 8

tnx for ur help once again i apprciate it ! :)

that is just the first step, after you get the slope you need to use formula
y = mx + b where m = slope and b = y-int

Answer 10

-81/8 i got?.
