The answer is just -18

Walkthrough: The formula for this problem is m= y2 - y1/x2 - x1

x1,y1 is (34,12) and x2,y2 is (32,48) [As it said in the given problem].

Substituting it, your form would be written as

m = 48 - 12 / 32 - 34

let's continue solving it.

m = 36/-2

now divide them both by 2

m = 18/-1

the final written form would be -18

[I took the same Unit Test Btw]
