Steps for solving:

-Start with the slope formula which is shown at the top in blue-

-Plug your given numbers in for the appropriate places-

-Simplify from there-

-Keep in mind that minus a negative can be thought of as plus a positive so I put a red vertical line to show a plus sign-

Any questions?
