Answer 3

So are you familiar with \(\Large{y=mx+b}\)....

Answer 4

well i think its -2 but not really sure and yes

Answer 5

the slope is m

Answer 6

i dont even know.

Answer 7

First off...

The answer is'nt -2.... The slope is a number that is in slope-intercept form...and we only see -7 and 9 so would be possible for it to be -2....Now the slope would actually be m...

\(\Large\color{red}{y=mx+b}\)
\(\Large{~~~~~~~~|~~~~~~~~|}\)
\(\Large{~~~~slope~~y-intercept}\)

Answer 8

your right.... its not even possibly -2 lol i feel stupid..... so can you explain how you got the slope

Answer 9

yeah he is right
