Answer:


m=(1)/(4)

Explanation:

Given


y+2=(1)/(4)(x-3)

Required

Find the slope


y+2=(1)/(4)(x-3)

Subtract 2 from both sides


y+2-2=(1)/(4)(x-3) - 2


y=(1)/(4)(x-3) - 2

Open bracket


y=(1)/(4)x-(1)/(4)*3 - 2


y=(1)/(4)x-(3)/(4) - 2

Take LCM


y=(1)/(4)x+(-3 - 8)/(4)


y=(1)/(4)x+(-11)/(4)


y=(1)/(4)x-(11)/(4)

An equation has the form:


y = mx + b

Where


m = slope

By comparing:
y = mx + b and
y=(1)/(4)x-(11)/(4)


m=(1)/(4)

So, the slope is 1/4
