Question

Find the value of m so that the line y = mx - 5 will pass through the point (-2,3).

Answer 1

Explanation:

b/c there is a -5 we know that the line will pass through point (0,-5) and we also want the line to pass through (-2,3) so use those two points to find the slope

m = 3-(-5) / -2 -0

m = 3+5 / -2

m = -8/2

m = -4
