Technical Documentation for Slope Methodology

You are a Technical Documentation Specialist at a logistics firm. As part of a new onboarding manual for data analysts, you must explain the standard methodology for determining the slope of a line from a chart using the rise-over-run method. Using a trend line that passes through the points (0, -3) and (5, 1) as your example, describe the four-step procedure required to find the slope. Your explanation must explicitly name each step and identify the specific numerical values for the rise, the run, and the resulting slope based on these two points.
