Hey there :)
To find the slope with two points we will need to use the equation [tex]\frac{y^2-y^1}{x^2-x^1}[/tex]
[tex]x^1[/tex] [tex]x^2[/tex] [tex]y^1[/tex] [tex]y^2[/tex]
( 3 , -20 ) ( 5 , 8 )
Here is what the equation should look like when replaced with the numbers (it will be a fraction) :
[tex]\frac{8 - (-20)}{5 - 3}[/tex]
We know that two negatives cancel out and make a positive, so the numerator would actually be 8 + 20.
Solve the fraction and we get [tex]\frac{28}{2}[/tex]
28 divided by 2 is 14. The slope is 14.
