Answer:
m = 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
You want to find the slope, or the change in y coordinates over change in x-coordinates.
The first given point is E(-2, -4)
The second point is F(2, 2)
Coordinates are given in (x, y), so following the equation and computing the x and y coordinates of E - F for both the numerator and denominator:
You could also have went the other way and calculated F - E for the numerator and denominator and get the same answer.
Finally, to check you can also look at the graph through the rise over run (rise/run) method and see that from E, you go up 3 (rise) and to the right 2 (run) to get to the next point on the line.
