Answer: i think the answer is -3
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+2= 3x-52
Solve for x
You get x to be 54
Answer: Slope is -1
Using the slope formula, we get
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (0 - 4)/(2 - (-2))
m = (0 - 4)/(2 + 2)
m = -4/4
m = -1
What's going on here is that we subtract the y values 0 and 4 to get -4. This means that we dropped 4 units vertically to go from A to B. This is the rise. So rise = -4
The run is 4 because we moved 4 units to the right to go from A to B. This is found algebraically when we subtracted the x coordinates, so 2 - (-2) = 2 + 2 = 4.
Slope = rise/run = -4/4 = -1
You have the correct answer, assuming you wrote -1. I think your teacher just marked it wrong because you forgot to show steps.
