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

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Find points from graph.

Point (0, 40)

Point (20, 50)

Step 2: Find slope m

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

1. Substitute [SF]:
   `\displaystyle m=(50-40)/(20-0)`
2. Subtract:
   `\displaystyle m=(10)/(20)`
3. Simplify:
   `\displaystyle m=(1)/(2)`
