Question

Solve for m

Answer 1

Answer:

m = 29/48

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

x₂ = (y₂-y₁) +10 →(1

y₂ = y₁-x₁ → (2

y₁= 37

x₁ = 29

Now substitute the value of x₁ and y₁ into equation 2

y₂ = 37-29

y₂ = 8

Now substitute the value of y₂ and y₁ into equation 1

x₂ = (8-37) +10

x₂ = -19

As we know the slope (m) can be calculated as follows

m =(y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

m = (8- 37)/(-19 - 29)

m = (-29)/(-48)

m = 29/48

So our slope is 29/48
