Answer:
if i'm not mistaken the answer is B
First of all, to find the slope, you need to subtract the y's in the numerator over the x's in the denominator. Then you use Y-Y₁=slope(X-X₁) using either of the two points. If you want to simplify it further into slope-intercept form, you need to distribute on the right side of the equation.
The variable in this equation is b, therefore we have to calculate the value of b.
-38=2b+25-(-7b)
-38=2b+25+7b
2b+7b=-38-25
9b=-63
b=-63/9
b=-7
Answer: the value of the variable is b=-7
We can check it out this answer:
-38=2b+25-(-7b)
-38=2(-7)+25-(-7(-7))
-38=-14+25-49
-38=-38
