Please provide answer choices. As I have nothing to look off of, I cannot answer accurately. However, I can provide a definition to the word, "slope".
Explanation:
The equation for slope can most often be written out as y=mx+b, where m is the slope, and b is the intercept. The slope of a line is the number that shows the rise and run of the line.
(The numerator and the denominator has same bases, therefore the powers will get subtracted. It is an exponential property)
(As the left hand side is equal to right hand side and the bases are on both the sides are equal too, we will equate their exponential power. Another property)
