Answer 1

\(\Huge\color{blue}{ \bf m=~~ \frac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2} }\)

can you plug in your points ?

Answer 2

\(\Huge\color{blue}{ \bf m=~~ \frac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2} }\)


to plug in (6, 5) and (3, 1)
say that

( 6 , 5 )
\(\large\color{blue}{ \bf (x_1~,~y_1) }\)


( 3 , 1 )
\(\large\color{blue}{ \bf (x_2~,~y_2) }\)

seee what I mean ?

Answer 3

6=x1 3=x2
5=y1 1=y2

Answer 4

Yeah

Answer 5

Answer 6

Please show me how YOU would plug in the points into the slope formula.

Answer 7

I showed you!!

Answer 8

I don't see any of your work though -:(

Answer 9

Like how you did it up there ^^^^^^

Answer 10

Idk how to work the equation box

Answer 11

You said that you showed me how you plugged in the points into the slope formula... and I don't see any work posted by you.

You can draw using the drawing tool,
or the equation editor, \frac{ numerator }{ denominator } is a fraction latex

x1 and x2 are x_1 x_2
y1 and y2 are y_1 y_2
