@user3

anonymous · Answer

Yep, so we just substitute the points given into that formula

anonymous · Answer

ohkay after you substitute the points into the formula i get lost after that @user3

anonymous · Answer

Okay, after substituting we get $\dfrac{7 -(-3)}{3-(-2)}$. Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding, so now we have $\dfrac{7+3}{3+2}$. Now we add the top and bottom.

anonymous · Answer

so it will be |dw:1427037215495:dw|

anonymous · Answer

anonymous · Answer

Yes, we need to simplify $\dfrac{10}5$

anonymous · Answer

so the answer is m=2 @user3

anonymous · Answer

Yep :)
