Answer:
See solution below
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the coordinate's of A and B be (1, 0) and (2,4) respectively
midpoint M (X, Y) = [(x1+x2/2, y1+y2/2)]
X = x1+x2/2
X = 1+2/2
X = 3/2
X = 1.5
Y = y1+y2/2
Y = 0+4/2
Y = 4/2
Y = 2
Hence the required midpoint (X, Y) is (1.5, 2)
Slope m = y2-y1/x2-x1
m = 4-0/2-1
m = 4/1
m = 4
Hence the slope is 4
<em>Note that the coordinates are assumed but the same calculation can be employed for any other coordinates</em>

Answer:
b = -2 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable, b. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
First, subtract 5 from both sides:
-3b + 5 (-5) = 13 (-5)
-3b = 13 - 5
-3b = 8
Next, divide -3 from both sides:
(-3b)/-3 = (8)/-3
b = -8/3
b = -2 2/3
