Hello @jkid126 and Welcome to OpenStudy! :) \(\large slope = \frac{ rise }{ run } = \frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} } \) when given points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y=\frac{ -5--4 }{ 3--2 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that should be the first part

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

correct :) now all you have to do is to simplify that ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-5--4 should be -1 right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

over 5
