What is the slope of the line that goes through the two points (-5 , 11) & (12 , 3)?
change in y
----------------- = slope of the line
change in x
(-5,11) and (12,3)
3 - 11
----------- = slope {subtracted the y-coordinates over subtracting the x-coordinates}
12 - (-5)
-8
----- = slope {subtracted in numerator and denominator}
17
slope = -8/17
