Answer:
-1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The point slope form of equation of a line is expressed as;
[tex]y - y_{0} = m(x-x_0)[/tex]
m is the slope
(x₀, y₀) is the point on the line
Given
(x₀, y₀) = (1, 2)
Given the equation 3y = 2x - 4
Rewrite the equation
y = 2/3x - 4/3
mx = 2/3x
m = 2/3
The slope is 2/3
Substitute the slope and the point into the formula above
[tex]y -y_0 =m(x-x_0)\\y - 2 = 2/3(x - 1)\\3(y-2) = 2(x-1)\\3y - 6 = 2x - 2\\Swap\\2x - 2 = 3y - 6\\2x - 3y = -6 + 2\\2x - 3y = -4\\x - 3/2 y = -4/2\\x - 3/2 y= -2[/tex]
Compare the expression to x+(m+2)y=n−5
m + 2 = -3/2
m = -3/2 - 2
m = -7/2
Similarly
n - 5 = -2
n = -2 + 5
n = 3
m + n = -7/2 + 3
m + n = -1/2
hence the sum of m and n is -1/2
