Answer:

You use slope-intercept form.

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form gives you the slope of a graph using two points that are provided on the graph.

To find the slope of your picture, you would:


  1. (5-1)/(-1+3)
  2. 5 - 1 = 4
  3. -1 + 3 = 2
  4. 4/2 = 2

(5-1) over (-1--3) or (-1+3).
so 4 over 2, or 2.
the equation is

y2-y1
-------- = m
x2-x1
