We want to calculate the following

Using the properties of exponents, we have that

So we have

So, if factor 10^-4 on the right side, we have

Note that

Then,

So we have that
M= -8 - -5/ 3 - 15= -8+5/3-15= -3/-12 = 3/12 = 1/4
The slope is 1/4.
The slope formula is m=y2-y1/x2-x1. I plugged in -8=y2, -5=y1, 3=x2, and 15=x1. Then I solved it.
4(x+9)
