$m = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$m = \dfrac{-3 - 4}{7 - (-7)}$

$m = \dfrac{-7}{14}$

$m = -\dfrac{1}{2}$

Answer: The slope is -1/2.

Slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (4-(-3))/(-7-7) = 7/(-14)= -1/2 or -0.5

I had to answer a question similar to that one on Math XL. This question was about renting a truck instead of needing a 48 mile taxi. (Took me a long time just to find the truck question, but I am giving you the truck help me answer the question, in hopes that it will help you.)

The cost of renting a truck from Hamilton Auto Rental is $47.60 per day plus $0.15 per mile. The expression 47.60 plus 0.15 m represents the cost of renting a truck for one day and driving it m miles. Evaluate 47.60 plus 0.15 m for m equals 120.

Substitute the numerical value for each variable into the expression and simplify the result.

I am sorry if that didn't help you, but it was the closest thing I could find to use to help you.

One-fourth of a number is 3 more than one-seventh of the same number. What is the number?

I set it up as an equation. 1/4x = 1/7x + 3. After you solve it out, it’s 28.
