Just take the coordinates of both those red dots and use the slope formula: y2-y1 all divided by x2-x1. that should give you slope

The formula to find the slope of a line is $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$ , in other words <em>the y coordinate of the second point minus the y coordinate of the first point over the x coordinate of the second point minus the x coordinate of the first point</em>.

On this graph, the two points given are (-3,4) and (1,-2). With this, we can determine $x_{1} , x_{2} , y_{1} , and y_{2}$

$x_{1}=-3 \\ x_{2}=1\\ y_{1}=4\\ y_{2}=-2$

Plug these values correctly into the slope formula, and you can find your answer.

$\frac{-2-4}{1--3} =\frac{-6}{4} =\frac{-3}{2}$

The slope of the line is-3/2.

Hope this helps!

Which expression is equivalent to StartFraction (3 m Superscript negative 2 Baseline n) Superscript negative 3 Baseline Over 6 m

Dovator [93]

Option a: $\frac{m^{5} }{162n}$ is the equivalent expression.

Explanation:

The expression is $\frac{(3m^{-2} n)^{-3}}{6mn^{-2} }$ where $m\neq 0, n\neq 0$

Let us simplify the expression, to determine which expression is equivalent from the four options.

Multiplying the powers, we get,

$\frac{3^{-3}m^{6} n^{-3}}{6mn^{-2} }$

Cancelling the like terms, we have,

$\frac{3^{-3}m^{5} n^{-1}}{6 }$

This equation can also be written as,

$\frac{m^{5}}{3^{3}6 n^{1} }$

Multiplying the terms in denominator, we have,

$\frac{m^{5} }{162n}$

Thus, the expression which is equivalent to $\frac{(3m^{-2} n)^{-3}}{6mn^{-2} }$ is $\frac{m^{5} }{162n}$

Hence, Option a is the correct answer.
