Final answer:

We would need the context in which 'm' is used to solve the student's equation. In the provided material, 'm' relates to the slope of a line y = mx + b. Without further details, we cannot assert the value of 'm' for the student's equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to find the value of m given two equations for P and Q. However, the provided reference material relates to a different equation, y = 9 + 3x, where the m term represents the slope of the line and is equal to 3, and the b term represents the y-intercept of the line and is set equal to 9.

To answer the student's question accurately, we would need the relationship between P and Q to solve for m. If we're working within the context of a linear equation similar to y = mx + b, we would identify m as the slope. In the student's question, assuming P and Q are set equal to each other and represent a linear relationship like the one provided in the reference material, m would be part of the coefficient determining the slope of the line.

For instance, if the equation is rewritten in slope-intercept form as P = mx + b, with P and Q representing points on a graph (where P is the y-variable and x is the x-variable), then we could compare coefficients to find the value of m. Without additional context or information, we cannot provide a definitive value for m.
