Thanks phil. That really helped me.

Ok phil thanks so much and just to clarify you CAN do the ordered pairs in any order so if I had the pairs (9,6) and (4,3) then I could do 

6-3=3

--------

9-4=5

and get a slope of 3

                              -

                              5

and it doesn't matter which of  the ordered pairs go first.

Thanks so much guys!

ok so it is (x1-x2) but how do i tell which ordered pair is first. Or does it even matter?

yay!

tests r so fun!

Sorry just made my acct.

Does anyone know how to find the slope of a line in a quick and easy to understand way?

I am not ever able to get the slope of a line in a short amount of time which makes my HW for school take forever.

I want a way that I can understand not the stuff that they teach us in Schools.
