(\stackrel{x_1}{11}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-8})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-1}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-1}-\stackrel{y1}{(-8)}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{6}-\underset{x_1}{11}}} \implies \cfrac{-1 +8}{-5} \implies \cfrac{ 7 }{ -5 } \implies - \cfrac{7 }{ 5 }
