Answer 1

Hi there!

I believe your answer is:

`m=\boxed{-(4)/(5)}`

Here’s why:

• We can use the slope formula to find the slope of the two points given.

`\boxed{\text{Recall that the slope formula is:}}\\\\(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)\\\\(x_1,y_1), (x_2,y_2)-\text{Points}`

⸻⸻⸻⸻

`\boxed{\text{Finding the Slope:}}\\\\\rightarrow m=(5-1)/(-2-3) \\\\\rightarrow m=(4)/(-5)\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{m= -(4)/(5)}`

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
