  • Slope Formula: [tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (5, -11)

Point (-9, 17)

Step 2: Find slope m

  1. Substitute:                    [tex]m=\frac{17+11}{-9-5}[/tex]
  2. Add/Subtract:               [tex]m=\frac{28}{-14}[/tex]
  3. Divide:                          [tex]m=-2[/tex]
