$m = \frac{1}{2}$ $m=1/2$

There is a formula that we can use to find a slope if the $y$ $y$ and $x$ $x$ values are given.

Slope = $m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $m=(y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)$

$(0, - 3), (- 2, - 4)$ $(0,-3) , (-2,-4)$

$y_{2} = - 4$ $y_2 = -4$

$y_{1} = - 3$ $y_1 = -3$

$x_{2} = - 2$ $x_2 = -2$

$x_{1} = 0$ $x_1 = 0$

$= \frac{- 4 - (- 3)}{- 2 - 0} = \frac{- 4 + 3}{- 2}$ $= (-4 - (- 3))/(-2 - 0) =(-4+3)/-2$

$= \frac{- 1}{- 2}$ $= (-1)/-2$

$= \frac{1}{2}$ $=1/2$

slope $= 0.5$ $=0.5$
