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 (9, 9)

Point (6, 4)

Step 2: Find slope m

1. Substitute:                     $m=\frac{4-9}{6-9}$
2. Subtract:                        $m=\frac{-5}{-3}$
3. Simplify:                         $m=\frac{5}{3}$
