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

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Find points from graph.

Point (2, -1)

Point (-4, -3)

Step 2: Find slope m

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

1. Substitute [SF]:                     $m=\frac{-3+1}{-4-2}$
2. Add/Subtract:                       $m=\frac{-2}{-6}$
3. Simplify:                                $m=\frac{1}{3}$
