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

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (6, 5)

Point (5, 3)

Step 2: Find slope m

1. Substitute [SF]:                    $m=\frac{3-5}{5-6}$
2. Subtract:                              $m=\frac{-2}{-1}$
3. Divide:                                 $m=2$
