Y= f(x)= ax+b
when x= -1, y= -1
-1= -a+b | * ( -1)
when x= -3, y=2
2= -3a+b
-3a+b= 2
a - b= 1
--------------
2a=3
a=3/2 is the slope

3/4 and 3/8 have to have equal denominators, so multiply 3/4 by 2/2 because it's equal to one, so it doesn't change the value of the fraction, but it makes the denominator (the number on the bottom) bigger.
3/4 x 2/2 = 6/8
Now subtract.
6/8 - 3/8 = 3/8
Don't subtract the denominators.
3/8 can't be simplified.
(4/6x+6/4) this is one 1 option for your predicament.
