Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
The terms are separated by addition/subtraction symbols. There are 4 terms.
With parentheses around each term, you have ...
(9) + (14d) + (5w) + (7) . . . . 4 terms
_____
The two constant terms can be combined to give an expression with 3 terms:
14d +5w +16
D=4n-2, d+2=4n-2+2, d+2=4n
(d+2)/4=(4n)/4, 1/4d+1/2=n
n=1/4n+1/2
size 3=
n=1/4*3/1=3/4, 3/4+1/2=5/4=1 1/4
size 3=1 1/4
size 6=
n=1/4*6/1=6/4, 6/4+1/2=8/4=2
size 6=2
size 10=
n=1/4*10/1=10/4, 10/4+1/2=12/4=3
size 10=3
Answer: The slope is: "3" ; which does not appear among the answer choices given.
______________________________________________
The slope, "m" is calculated as follows:
___________________________________
Given two coordinates on a line;
m = (y₂ − y₁) / (x₂ − x₁) ;
__________________________________________
We are given the following 2 (TWO) coordinates:
__________________________________________
1) (5,2) ; which is: (x₁ ,y₁) ; so x₁ = 5 ; y₁ = 2 ; AND:
2) (7,8); which is: (x₂ ,y₂) ; so x₂ = 7; y₂ = 8 ;
_____________________________________________
So; m = (y₂ − y₁) / (x₂ − x₁) = (8−2) /.(7−5) = 6/2 = 3 .
m = 3. The slope is: 3 ; which does not appear among the answer choices given.

Alternately,
______________________________________________
We are given the following 2 (TWO) coordinates:
__________________________________________
1) (7,8) ; which is: (x₁ ,y₁) ; so x₁ = 7 ; y₁ = 8 ; AND:
2) (5,2); which is: (x₂ ,y₂) ; so x₂ = 5; y₂ = 2 ;
______________________________________________
So; m = (y₂ − y₁) / (x₂ − x₁) = (2−8) / (5−7) = -6/-2 = 3 .
m = 3. The slope is 3 ; which does not appear among the answer choices given.
