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!​
