Check the picture below.

$\bf slope = m = \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies \cfrac{ f(x_2) - f(x_1)}{ x_2 - x_1}\impliedby \begin{array}{llll} average~rate\\ of~change \end{array}\\\\[-0.35em] \rule{31em}{0.25pt}\\\\ f(x)= \qquad \begin{cases} x_1=1\\ x_2=3 \end{cases}\implies \cfrac{f(3)-f(1)}{3-1}\implies \cfrac{(5)-(-1)}{3-1} \\\\\\ \cfrac{5+1}{2}\implies \cfrac{6}{2}\implies 3$

Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

call the missing number x

8 - x = - 5 Subtract 8 from both sides

8-8 - x = -5-8 Combine

-x = - 13 Multiply by -1

x = 13
