(-4, 3) is a single point. An infinite number of lines,
all with different slopes, can contain it.
Answer this question… What is the slope of the line that contains the points (-1, 2) and (4, 3)?
Points: (-1, -1) and (-3, 2) Slope: -3/2
If the points are: (0, 3) and (8, -3) then the slope works out as -3/4
Points: (-2, 5) and (2, -3) Slope: -2
Points: (0, 7) and (8, -3) Slope: -5/4
Answer this question… What is the slope of the line that contains the points (-5, 3) and (2, 3)?

Points: (-1, -1) and (-3, 2) Slope: -3/2
If the points are: (0, 3) and (8, -3) then the slope works out as -3/4
Points: (4, 6) and (12, 3) Slope: -3/8
When given two points use the equation :- m = [y(1) - y(2)] / [ x(1) - x(2)] NB The numbers above are 'markers' , NOT the coordinates of the given points. For the points (1,1) & ( 3,15) Substitute om m = [ 15 -1] /[ 3 - 1 ] => m = [ 14] / [2] => m = 14/2 Cancel down by '2' m = 7 the slope!!!!!
Points: (-2, 5) and (2, -3) Slope: -2
Points: (-1, -1) and (3, 15) Slope: 4
Points: (-1, -1) and (-3, 2) Slope: -3/2
Points: (-2, 7) and (2, 3)Slope: -1
