That is wrong...

OpenStudy (dallaslifebaby01):

okay....

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

\(\Large\sf{Slope } = \frac{ y_2 - y_1 } { x_2 - x_1 }\)

OpenStudy (dallaslifebaby01):

okay they are doing that

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

\(\sf\Large (-2, 3)\) and \(\sf\Large (4, -12)\) that is in the form of \(\sf\Large (x_1,y_1)\) and \(\sf\Large (x_2,y_2)\)

OpenStudy (dallaslifebaby01):

they got -3/2

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

That is wrong...
