• Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Alg I

• Slope Formula:
  `m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (-1, 3)

Point (-6, -4)

Step 2: Find slope m

1. Substitute:
   `m=(-4-3)/(-6-(-1))`
2. Simplify:
   `m=(-4-3)/(-6+1)`
3. Subtract/Add:
   `m=(-7)/(-5)`
4. Simplify:
   `m=(7)/(5)`
