Answer:

M = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the Slope:

Slope is equal to the change in y over the change in x

, or rise over run.

m = $\frac{change in Y}{change in X}$

The change in x is equal to the difference in x-coordinates (also called run), and the change in y is equal to the difference in y-coordinates (also called rise).

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

Substitute in the values of x and y into the equation to find the slope.

m = $\frac{3-(9)}{4-(2)}$

Simplify.

m = $\frac{-6}{2}$

m = -3

A company's stock begins the week with a price of $43.85 per share. THe price changes by +$2.70 each day for the first two days,

mixas84 [53]

Given:

Initial price of the stock=$43.85

Change for the first two days=+$2.70

Change for next two days=-$1.10

Last day=-$4.45

The objective is to find the price at the last day.

Let's take the price at final day as <em>x</em>.

$\begin{gathered} x=43.85+2.70+2.70-1.10-1.10-4.45 \\ x=42.6 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the price of the stock at the last day is $42.6
