• Reading a Cartesian Plane
• Coordinates (x, y)
• Slope Formula:
  `\displaystyle m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Find points from graph.

Point (5, 0)

Point (-4, -3)

Step 2: Find slope m

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

1. Substitute in points [Slope Formula]:
   `\displaystyle m=(-3-0)/(-4-5)`
2. [Fraction] Subtract:
   `\displaystyle m=(-3)/(-9)`
3. [Fraction] Simplify:
   `\displaystyle m=(1)/(3)`
