• 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

Point (0, 2)

Point (3, -3)

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]:                                                              $\displaystyle m = \frac{2 + 3}{0 - 3}$
2. Simplify:                                                                                                             $\displaystyle m = \frac{-5}{3}$
