Answer:


(9)/(2)

Explanation:

The variable 'm' represents the slope in 'y=mx+b'. We need to find the slope of the two points.

Slope is rise over run. We are given the points of (6, 13) and (10, 31).


m=(rise)/(run)=(31-13)/(10-6) =(18)/(4) =\huge\boxed{(9)/(2)}

The slope, or 'm' should be
(9)/(2).
