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

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Find points from graph.

Point (-3, -2)

Point (2, 3)

Step 2: Find slope m

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

1. Substitute in points [SF]:
   `\displaystyle m=(3+2)/(2+3)`
2. [Fraction] Add:
   `\displaystyle m=(5)/(5)`
3. [Fraction] Divide:
   `\displaystyle m=1`
