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

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

• m - slope
• b - y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Find points from graph.

y-intercept (0, -2)

Random Point (2, 1)

Step 2: Find slope m

1. Substitute [slope formula]:          $m=\frac{1+2}{2-0}$
2. Add/Subtract:                               $m=\frac{3}{2}$

Step 3: Write equation

Substitute into General Form

y = 3/2x - 2
