Answer 1

\(\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
&({\color{red}{ -4}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ 8}})\quad &({\color{red}{ -3}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ -6}})
\end{array}
\\\quad \\

slope = {\color{green}{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies \cfrac{{\color{blue}{ y_2}}-{\color{blue}{ y_1}}}{{\color{red}{ x_2}}-{\color{red}{ x_1}}}\)

Answer 2

do u have that backwards?

Answer 3

hmm nope

Answer 4

well they can go either way 1then 2 or 2 then 1
