General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

• Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Algebra I

• Slope Formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (-3, -10)

Point (-11, -17)

Step 2: Find slope m

1. Substitute:                    $m=\frac{-17+10}{-11+3}$
2. Add:                              $m=\frac{-7}{-8}$
3. Simplify:                        $m=\frac{7}{8}$

And we have our final answer!
