4. The slope of the line is 3. I found the slope by calculating the change in y values (rise) over the change in x values (run) between two points on the line. I knew it was positive because the line is sloping upwards from left to right.

The equation 8 + 3(x − 6) = −2 + 3x − 4 has one solution.

5. The equation 8 + 2(x − 6) = −2 + 2x − 2 has one solution.

For the last part:

L. The slope of the line is -4.
M. The slope of the line is 2.
N. The slope of the line is -2.
