Sure, I can help you with that.

To optimize the previous code using the m-step of the EM algorithm, you can follow these steps:

1. Initialize the affine transformation matrix, translation vector, and variance value.
2. Implement the E-step of the EM algorithm to calculate the responsibility matrix P, which indicates the correspondence between the points.
3. Implement the M-step of the EM algorithm to optimize the affine transformation matrix, translation vector, and variance value by minimizing the objective function:

min_{affine, translation, variance} 1/(2*variance) * sum_{m,n} p(y_m | x_n) ||x_n - affine y_m - translation||_2^2

4. Repeat steps 2-3 for num_iter iterations or until convergence.

Here's the updated code:

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
