Answer:

$The\ slope\ is\ \frac{9}{5}.$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of slope is given by

$m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

As given

The points are (0, 32) and (100, 212) .

$m = \frac{212-32}{100-0}$

$m = \frac{180}{100}$

$m = \frac{9}{5}$

$Therefore\ the\ slope\ is\ \frac{9}{5}.$

The equation for finding the slope of a line is $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ . After substituting in the points, we get

How do you solve this equation: -2m+3=|15+m|

Elden [556K]

Any number inside the modulus sign becomes positive. This means $|15+m|=|-(15+m)|=|-15-m|$ and so we have,

$-2m+3=|15+m| \Rightarrow \left \Big\{ {{-2m+3=15+m} \atop{-2m+3=-15-m}} \right$

Solving these gives us

$-2m+3=15+m \Rightarrow m=-4$

$-2m+3=-15-m \Rightarrow = m=18$

However if we check the second solution in the original equation we obtain $-2(18)+3=|15+18| \Rightarrow -33=33$ . This is false and so $m=18$ can't be a solution.

Therefore the only solution is $m=-4$ .

(Note: I'm not sure why the second solution didn't work but when there's a modulus sign involved it always pays to check your final answers to be sure. I'll have a think about it but in case you find out before I do, I'd be interested to know in the comments.)
