slope = [ subtract y values in any order ]
___________________________________
[ subtract the x values in the same order]
So
[ -1 - 5 ] -6 -2
________ = _____ = ____
[ 6 - -3 ] 9 3
The formula is y2 - y1
_____
x2 - x1.
Use this formula and you will get 6/-9. Simplify that to -2/3.
-2/3 is the slope of the two coordinates.
