m=-(5/4)

From left to right, (1,3) is first and then comes (5,-2). Always remember when finding slopes without equations, the rule is RISE over RUN, to the numerator and denominator, respectively.

The y value of the second coordinates becomes negative which is unlike the y value in the first coordinates, which means our slope is downward, meaning it has a negative sign in front.

In every slope, there’s a numerator, being the rise, and a denominator, being the run.

To find the rise, we must look at the y values. Starting at 3 going to -2 has a space of 5 units, making that our numerator.

To find the run, the first x value is 1 and the second is 5, making a space of 4, which is out denominator.

With these two numbers and the negative sign, we get -(5/4) as our slope.

To find 15% of something, you would multiply 0.15 by the number you are trying to find 15% of.

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The left side would be (3x - 12)
The right side would be (-4x+2)

In an equation, 3x - 12 = -4x+2

Combine all the letters on the left and plain numbers on the right,

3x + 4x = 12 + 2

Note: When you transfer to the other side of the equal sign, the number will change its sign.

Simplify the 3x + 4x = 12 + 2,

                     7x = 14

                      x=\frac{14}{7}

                      x = 2
