This final image in the series focuses on Step 5 of using the slope formula: "Simplify." It shows how to express the calculated slope in its simplest form, if necessary.

Teachers can conclude the lesson with this step by saying: "Our last step is to simplify our result if possible. Sometimes, our slope might be a fraction that can be reduced. Other times, it might already be in its simplest form. Why is it important to express our slope in the simplest possible way? How does this final step help us interpret what the slope means in the context of our line?"
