The slope (m) is the change in "y" over the change in "x":$$m = \frac{ y _{2} - y _{1} }{ x _{2} - x _{1} }$$I suggest taking as your 2 points:

(0, -1)  and (5, 3) for your$$(x _{1}, y _{1})$$and$$(x _{2}, y _{2})$$

All good now, @faded911 ?

anonymous · Answer

So it comes out a 1/2?

anonymous · Answer

How did you get that?

anonymous · Answer

You will benefit by identifying$$x _{1}, x _{2}, y _{1},  y _{2} $$Hint: take them from the points I identified in my first post and then substitute them into the formula I wrote out for you.  Do show your work.

How's this going for you, @faded911 ?
