  1. (-2,5)(1,4)
    slope = (4 - 5) / (1 - (-2) = -1 / 3

    2. (11,13)(8,18)

    3. (6,y)(10,-1)
        slope = (-1 - y) / (10 - 6) = (-1- (-2) / 4 = 1/4
         y = -2

    4. undefined

    5. (2,110)(3,165)
         slope = (165 - 110) / (3 - 2) = 55/1 
         this basically means that to rent a charter boat, it will cost 55 per person
