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

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Find points from graph.

Point (3, 0)

Point (0, 1)

Step 2: Find slope m

Plug in points to find the rate of change of the graph.

1. Substitute [SF]:
   `m=(1-0)/(0-3)`
2. Subtract:
   `m=(1)/(-3)`
3. Rewrite:
   `m=(-1)/(3)`
