Change in Y
Change in X
Step 1:  Find the change in y by subtracting the two 
               y values.  This number is the numerator.
Step 2:  Find the change in x by subtracting the two
              x values.  This number is the denominator.
Step 3:  Simplify.  (If you only have one negative, the 
negative sign goes with numerator.  If you have two
negatives, the final answer is positive.
