• 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 (0, 1)

Point (2, 2)

Step 2: Identify

x₁ = 0, y₁ = 1

x₂ = 2, y₂ = 2

Step 2: Find slope m

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

1. Substitute in points/variables [Slope Formula]:
   `\displaystyle m=(2-1)/(2-0)`
2. [Slope] [Fraction] Subtract:
   `\displaystyle m=(1)/(2)`
