But that's a lot of squares to count. Or maybe you don't have a picture to work with?

​

You need to find the slope between the points ​(-3,3) and (3,-1)

​

So you want to find the slope

And when you do, watch out for those built-in negatives.

​

Plug in to this formula

First point is x1 y1

​

Second point is x2 y2​

​

Once you label your points, it's formula time

First, name your coordinates

Plug in negatives with ( ) around them!

Sometimes you have double negatives

Simplify the fraction if needed​

​

Find the slope between (-4, 3) and (-1, -7)

Because x1 was negative, you have to subtract a negative

​​

2 - (-3) = 5!​
