Hello!

To find the slope of line, use the formula:
(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1)).

Then, assign
x_(1),
x_(2),
y_(1) and
y_(2) to ordered pairs.
x_(1) and
y_(1) is assigned to one of the ordered pairs, and in this case, it can be (-3, 3), and
x_(2) and
y_(2) is assigned to the other ordered pair, (18, 26).

m =
(26-3)/(18-(-3)) = (23)/(21)

Therefore, the slope of this trend line is 23/21.
