Pre-Alg

• 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 (40, 3000)

Point (60, 4000)

Step 2: Find slope m

1. Substitute:                    $m=\frac{4000-3000}{60-40}$
2. Subtract:                       $m=\frac{1000}{20}$
3. Divide:                          $m=50$
