    \displaystyle m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Find points from graph.

Point (8, 0)

Point (0, 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)/(0-8)
  2. [Fraction] Subtract:
    \displaystyle m=(3)/(-8)
  3. [Fraction] Simplify:
    \displaystyle m=(-3)/(8)
