Determine the slope for the line that meets each condition stated. show your work.
a. passes through the points (3,5) and (−1,−7).
b. passes through the points given by the table of values.
x y
−2 −7
−1 −6
0 −5
1 −4
2 −3

Follow these steps using the algebra tiles to solve the equation −5x + (−2) = −2x + 4. 1. add 5 positive x-tiles to both sides and create zero pairs. 2. add 4 negative unit tiles to both sides and create zero pairs. 3. divide the unit tiles evenly among the x-tiles. x =
