The slope of the line is the ratio of "vertical change" to "horizontal change and is denoted by the letter m".
m = ( y2 - y1 ) / ( x2 - x1 )
In this case:
x1 = 2 , y1 = 5 , x2 = 4 , y2 = - 3
m = ( y2 - y1 ) / ( x2 - x1 )
m = ( - 3 - 5 ) / ( 4 - 2 ) = - 8 / 2 = - 4
m = ( y2 - y1 ) / ( x2 - x1 )
In this case:
x1 = 2 , y1 = 5 , x2 = 4 , y2 = - 3
m = ( y2 - y1 ) / ( x2 - x1 )
m = ( - 3 - 5 ) / ( 4 - 2 ) = - 8 / 2 = - 4
