What is the point slope formula?

anonymous · Answer

it isnt given @peddani

anonymous · Answer

Slope is rise over run, right?   So you need to look at the difference of the rise over the difference of the run.  $$\frac{ y_{1}-y_{2} }{ x_{1}-x_{2} }$$

i really dont know how to do that

anonymous · Answer

you just label (1,3) and (4, -9) like this.
x1,  y1        x2,  y2
(1,   3)       (4,   -9).

then you plug it into the formula and get
3+9 over 1-4. that gives you 12/-3, and you simplify it to get -4 as the answer.
