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 (1, -3)

Point (-4, -7)

Step 2: Find slope m

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