Finding the Slope from Two Points

Why is it important to practice adding and subtracting integers before finding the slope between two points?

• Because it ensures accurate calculations.

• Because it is a prerequisite for all math topics.

• Because it is required for graphing.

• Because it helps in understanding the concept of slope.
