So to fine slope you would use the formula down below:

rise/run

So use a graphed point, 0, -5 and you rise or count up quadrants up to a point and then horizontally move to when you find that point.

So from 0,-5 go up 9 vertically, and you would be on the 4

Go horizontal 3 spots and your on a designated point.

So the rise is four and the run is 3

So 4/3 is the slope

In the y= Mx + b equation you would set the equation like this:

y= 4/3 + -5

The m in this formula stands for the slop and the b stands for the y-intercept

The y-intercept is the point that is on the y-axis and where it starts.
