Answer:
the answer is a rational number
Answer:
-1/3 or -2/6
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you pick two points, I did (-5,10) and (1,8). Then, because slope is y(2)-y(1)/ x(2)-x(1), the equation would be 8-10/1-(-5) which equals -2/6 which simplifies into -1/3.

Answer: 12
Step by step explanation:
First simplify both sides of the equation
( 4 )( b ) + ( 4 ) ( - 2 ) + -10 = 2b + 6 (distribute)
4b + -8 + -10 = 2b + 6
(4b) + (-8 + -10 ) = 2b + 6 (combine like terms)
4b + -18 = 2b + 6
4b - 18 = 2b + 6
Then subtract 2b from both sides
4b - 18 - 2b = 2b + 6 - 2b
2b - 18 = 6
After that you add 18 to both sides
2b - 18 + 18 = 6 + 18
2b = 24
2b/2 = 24/2
b = 12
