• Reading a coordinate plane
• Coordinates (x, y)
• Slope Formula: $\displaystyle m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify points from graph

Point (0, -1)

Point (-3, 1)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

1. Substitute in points [Slope Formula]:                                                              $\displaystyle m = \frac{1 - -1}{-3 - 0}$
2. [Fraction] Subtract:                                                                                           $\displaystyle m = \frac{2}{-3}$
3. Rewrite:                                                                                                             $\displaystyle m = \frac{-2}{3}$
