• 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, 10)

Point (5, 19)

Step 2: Find slope m

1. Substitute:                    $m=\frac{19-10}{5-9}$
2. Subtract:                       $m=\frac{9}{-4}$
3. Simplify:                        $m=\frac{-9}{4}$
