[Blindmath] Slope Question

[Elise Berkley]

That is what I thought.  My instructor had substituted the points in the
formula differently.  Maybe it was just a misprint in the study guide.
Thanks for your help, Paden.  Off to midterms!  Elise

Your first point is (x1, y1).  Your second point is (x2, y2).  The formula
for slope is (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)--note the parentheses in the equation.

Good luck,
Haden
