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.

Answer: (b) Provide hints on what the teacher thinks is important

Explanation: Clearly, the teacher selects what to ask in the tests, and it is plausible to think that (s)he will select problems that they deem important.

The teacher will know that students look at past tests, and so they will tend to change the wording and values in the tests to prevent plagiarism, so (a) is not the right choice.
