You are interchangely using .6 and 6... so which one is it?

abbycross167 · Answer

6

thesmartone · Answer

ok, so what is y_1 and y_2?

abbycross167 · Answer

-6 -3?

thesmartone · Answer

the points are in the form
$\sf\Large (x_1,y_1)~and~(x_2,y_2)$

abbycross167 · Answer

ok umm.  so y2-y1/x2-x1 = -.6- (-3)/-.6-4

thesmartone · Answer

why do keep putting that dot before 6???

abbycross167 · Answer

because that's how it was in my question. I looked back and figured it out

thesmartone · Answer

so is it 0.6 or is it 6.0

??

thesmartone · Answer

because that dot makes a HUGE difference

abbycross167 · Answer

-0.6
