bibby · Answer

$m = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

anonymous · Answer

I'm horrible at math. Don't even know what that means

bibby · Answer

it's a formula for finding the slope
plug in the points where say $(-2,-1)=(x_1,y_1)$

anonymous · Answer

(-1,-3) (-2,8)

bibby · Answer

for example find the slope between (1,3) and (4,9)|dw:1424890566278:dw|

anonymous · Answer

so (-3,-1) (8,-2)

bibby · Answer

just plug the numbers in
there's a formula

anonymous · Answer

i got (-2,10)

anonymous · Answer

m=-1/5?

bibby · Answer

pick numbers and stick to them. what 2 points are we using? (1,3) and (1,-5)?
