$\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\
%   (a,b)
&({\color{red}{ \frac{3}{2}}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ -2}})\quad 
%   (c,d)
&({\color{red}{ -3}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ \frac{7}{3}}})
\end{array}
\\quad \
% slope  = m
slope = {\color{green}{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{\color{blue}{ y_2}}-{\color{blue}{ y_1}}}{{\color{red}{ x_2}}-{\color{red}{ x_1}}}$
