Prove: m = -2

(Hint: slope)

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

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents

addition
