Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
a line through (3,-7) and (-6,5) has slope = (-7-5)/(3- -6) = -12/9 = -4/3
slope is the difference in y coordinates divided by the difference in x coordinates, or the "rise over run" how much y changes for a given change in x
a line through these two points will go down 4 units of y for a 3 unit increase in x
