• Slope Formula:
  `m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (18, 0)

Point (10, -5)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

1. Substitute [SF]:
   `m=(-5-0)/(10-18)`
2. Subtract:
   `m=(-5)/(-8)`
3. Simplify:
   `m=(5)/(8)`
