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

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (0, 0)

Point (2, 1.2)

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=(1.2-0)/(2-0)`
2. [Fraction] Subtract:
   `\displaystyle m=(1.2)/(2)`
3. [Fraction] Divide:
   `\displaystyle m=0.6`
