18.5 you’d add 2.5 to 16 since 12.5 - 10 is 2.5 hope this helps
The slope of the line is -2.
Solution:
Given points are (-3, -7) and (2, -17).
Here 
Slope of the line:




m = -2
The slope of the line that passes through the pair of points is -2.
In general the binomial expansion is

So in our case, because we want ascending powers of x we'll write,

We need to calculate the binomial coefficients:






And what exactly is the problem??
