Answer:

What she did was to find the change in x to change in y i.e she used the wrong expression m = x2-x1/y2-y1

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of a line m is xpressed using the formula;

m = y2-y1/x2-x1

Given the coordinate (3, 10) and (35, 91)

x1 = 3, y1 = 10, x2 = 35 and y2 = 91

Substitute

m = 91-10/35-3

m = 81/32

Hence the slope of the line is 81/32

Mia made an error in the first step. What she did was to find the change in x to change in y i.e she used the wrong expression m = x2-x1/y2-y1

Answer:

Mia switched the numerator and the denominator.
