Answer 1

Answer:

$m=\frac{7}{4}$

General Formulas and Concepts:

• Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
• Slope Formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

(9, 4)

(5, -3)

Step 2: Find slope m

1. Substitute:                         $m=\frac{-3-4}{5-9}$
2. Subtract:                            $m=\frac{-7}{-4}$
3. Simplify:                             $m=\frac{7}{4}$
