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

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Find points from graph.

Point (1, -5)

Point (7, -1)

Step 2: Find slope m

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

1. Substitute [SF]:
   `m=(-1+5)/(7-1)`
2. Add/Subtract:
   `m=(4)/(6)`
3. Simplify:
   `m=(2)/(3)`
