Answer: y=-1/3+2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 6x-2y=7 subtract 6x from both sides.

2. -2y=-6x+7 divide both sides by -2 to isolate y

3. y=3x+7 that’s the y=Mx+b format, now we must find the negative inverse of the slope (m) which is -1/3.

4. Plug in variables.

-5=-1/3(4)+b

5. Solve:

-5=-4/3+b

add 4/3 to both sides to get -3 2/3=b

6. Make y=mx+b equation.

y=-1/3x+2/3

$\sf{\red{Answer}}$

$\sf{m = \frac{1}{2} }$

$\sf{\purple{Explanation}}$

$\sf{m = \frac{y_{2}- y_{1}}{m_{2} - m_{1}} }$

$\sf{m = \frac{9- 3}{7- ( - 5)} }$

$\sf{m = \frac{6}{7 + 5} }$

$\sf{m = \frac{6}{12} }$

$\sf{m = \frac{1}{2} }$
