Hello!
[tex]\large\boxed{m = \frac{3}{2}}[/tex]
[tex]\large\boxed{\text{Slope = \frac{3}{2}}}[/tex]
Use given points and plug them into the slope formula to find the slope of the line:
[tex]\text{Slope } = \frac{ y_2 - y_1 } { x_2 - x_1 }[/tex]
We can use the points (2, -1) and (0, -4) to solve:
[tex]\text{Slope } = \frac{ -1 - (-4) } { 2 - 0 }\\\\= \frac{3}{2}[/tex]
Therefore, the slope, or "m" value of the line is 3 / 2.
