( -20 , 14 ) and ( 30, 18)

Can someone show me how to do it? This is the example the teacher gave us m = y^2 - y^1 / x^2 - x^1
Plug in 22 - 10 / 5-2
Subtract 12 /3 because 22- 10 = 12 and 5 -2 = 3
Divide m = 4

I think 2/25 is the answer but I’m not sure.

Answer:

2/25 if this is slope.

Explanation:

so y^2 refers to the y coordinate of your second point and the same for y^1, but for the first point. Then you want to subtract those. In this one, it would be 18 - 14 = 4. Once you get that, do the same thing for the x coordinates. Ex: 30 - (-20) = 50 (something minus a negative is like addition). Then put your y answer over your x answer as a fraction and simplify. Ex: 4/50 -> 2/25. This is your answer.

Hope this makes since and helps!
