Algebra I

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

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

Point (-3, 4)

Point (-5, 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- 4)/(-5- -3)`
2. [Fraction] Subtract:
   `\displaystyle m = (3)/(-2)`
3. Rewrite:
   `\displaystyle m = (-3)/(2)`
