Algebra I

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

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

Point (0, -2)

Point (5, 3)

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 = (3--2)/(5-0)
  2. [Fraction] Subtract:
    \displaystyle m = (5)/(5)
  3. [Fraction] Divide:
    \displaystyle m = 1
