Explanation:
Step 1: Define
Find points from graph.
Point (-5, 0)
Point (-9, -8)
Step 2: Find slope m
Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m
- Substitute in points [Slope Formula]:
![\displaystyle m=(-8-0)/(-9+5)](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/mathematics/high-school/vhs1ewvrrvegdc00smtqkai444exh2ksoo.png)
