Prove: m = -2

(Hint: slope)

9514 1404 393

Explanation:

We can find the slope by solving for y.

  3x +2y +7 = 5x +3y +10

  -2x -3 = y . . . . . . . . . . . . . add -5x-10-2y to both sides of the equation

In this form, the slope (m) is the coefficient of x, -2. Hence m = -2.

Alternate solution

A graph of the equation shows it has an x-intercept of -1.5 and a y-intercept of -3. The slope (m) is then "rise" divided by "run", or ...

  m = rise/run = -3/1.5

  m = -2

not enough information

step-by-step explanation:

we cannot know this, because the other students could have handed out 10 flyers, or they could have handed out 100. one way, the mean would go up, and another way, the mean would go down.
