• Left to Right

Algebra I

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

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify points from graph

Point (-2, -3)

Point (3, 7)

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 = (7--3)/(3--2)`
2. [Fraction] Subtract:
   `\displaystyle m = (10)/(5)`
3. [Fraction] Divide:
   `\displaystyle m = 2`

Answer 2

Slope = Y2-Y1/X2-X1 = 7-(-3)/3-(-2)= 10/5 = 2
