Answer:
<h2>The slope m = -2</h2>Step-by-step explanation:
The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:
<em>m</em><em> - slope</em>
<em>b</em><em> - y-intercept</em>
<em />
We have the equation in the standard form:
Convert to the slope intercept form:
<em>subtract 6x from both sides</em>
<em>divide both sides by 3</em>
slope: <em>m = -2</em>
y-intercept: <em>b = 4</em>
First let's find the slope
Slope formula:
Given the two coordinates:
(-4,-7) (3,2)
x1,y1 x2,y2
Plug these numbers into the formula
In this case the mistake that was made was that the student wrote the slope negative instead of positive
Final answer:
