plz help @KamiBug

kamibug · Answer

Choose two points from the line and use the slope formula. :)
$$m = \frac{ y_2 - y_1 }{ x_2 - x_1 }$$
Which points do you want to use?

anonymous · Answer

I can't find the points to.

kamibug · Answer

You can choose any two points that are one the line to find slope. :) 
Let's use (1, 1) and (0, 0). Can you plug those into the formula for me?

dtan5457 · Answer

does it even land on 1,1? its hard to tell and assume

anonymous · Answer

they r both -1

kamibug · Answer

Oops, that's right.  Let's use (5, 6) just in case.

dtan5457 · Answer

5,6 looks about definite to me.

anonymous · Answer

(-5,-6)

kamibug · Answer

Great! :) So plug those points into the formula.
y_2 is 6
y_1 is 0
x_2 is 5
x_1 is 0|dw:1419467772933:dw|
