slope=changeiny/change in x
slope=(-6-(-2))/(-1-3)= -4/-4 = 1
check my work.
Find the slope of the line that goes through the given points. I would apprecaite some feedback to this ?, but I think I have an idea how to figure it out!

This is what I got. Which is correct? I don't know if you
-6 - - 2 =
-6 + 2 = -4
-1 + 3 = 2
-4/2 = -2
Slope m = -2
-6 - - 2 =
-6 + 2 = -4
-1 + 3 = 2
-4/2 = -2
Slope m = -2
What bob said is right. you do y2 - y1
_______
x2 - x1
That is a fraction (-1,-6) are the y's and (3,-2) are the x's. -1 is y1 and -6 is y2. and the same goes for the x's.
