(x1,y1) = (3,2) (x2,y2) = (0,-3) use the slope formula $\Large m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$ to find the slope

i was never taught this though

subtract the y coordinates subtract the x coordinates make sure you subtract in the same order then divide the two differences (y diff over x diff)

what? i dont get it @jim_thompson5910

14. jim_thompson5910

what are the y coordinates of these two points (3,2) and (0,-3)

15. anonymous

ive never done that before

16. jim_thompson5910

hmm perhaps you're in a lesson that the teacher hasn't gotten to yet?

17. anonymous

its a scantron upf\date and ive never been taught that. my teaccher said to find help on the internet. are you supposed to learn this is 6th gradr?

im just going to guess @jim_thompson5910

20. jim_thompson5910

if the teacher didn't get to this part, then I don't see how it's fair she expects you to know this material

b ?

22. jim_thompson5910

anyways, the y coordinates of (3,2) and (0,-3) are 2 and -3, agreed?

23. anonymous

yes i think

24. anonymous

is it b

25. jim_thompson5910

subtract the y coordinates 2 minus (-3) = 2 - (-3) = 2+3 = 5

26. jim_thompson5910

what are the x coordinates of the two points?

dont know im going to guess
