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

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify points from graph

Point (0, -1)

Point (-3, 1)

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 = (1 - -1)/(-3 - 0)
  2. [Fraction] Subtract:
    \displaystyle m = (2)/(-3)
  3. Rewrite:
    \displaystyle m = (-2)/(3)
