Slope, rise over run, vertical change divided by horizontal change ---
so pick any two values for x and find the corresponding y values. You will have two points. Now, find change in y divided by change in x.

Use any values for x.
, y=-3*0+7/2, .

Two points found are (0, 7/2) and (1, 1/2).

Slope,
