slope is the difference in the y's divided by the difference in the x's

(3- -4)/(2-6)

Let's call the points (x0, y0)=(2, 3) and (x1, y1) = (6, –4)

slope m = (y0-y1)/(x0-x1) = (3 - -4)/(2 - 6) = -7/4.....ANS

slope(m) = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (-4-3)/(6-2) = -7/4 <=ANS2

the slope of the line that passes through (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
