General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

• Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Algebra I

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

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (-3, -10)

Point (-11, -17)

Step 2: Find slope m

1. Substitute:
   `m=(-17+10)/(-11+3)`
2. Add:
   `m=(-7)/(-8)`
3. Simplify:
   `m=(7)/(8)`

And we have our final answer!
