What you want to do here is take this information and plug it into point-slope form. any time you're given a point and a slope, you generally want to plug it into this equation: y - y1 = m(x - x1).
in this equation, m is your slope and (x1, y1) is a given point. plug in your info--slope of -3 and (-5, 2).
y - 2 = -3(x + 5)
that is the equation of your line. however, if you want to graph it, this doesn't really make much sense to you. convert it to slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, by solving for y.
y - 2 = -3(x + 5) ... distribute -3
y - 2 = -3x - 15 ... add 2
y = -3x - 13 is your equation.
to graph this, and any other y = mx + b equation, you want to start with your y-intercept if it's present. your y intercept here is -13, which means the line you wasn't to graph crosses the y-axis at y = -13, or (0, -13). put a point there.
after you've plotted that point, you use your slope to graph more. remember that your slope is "rise over run"--you rise up/go down however many units, you run left/right however many units. if your slope is -3, you want to go down 3 units, then go to the right 1 unit. remember that whole numbers have a 1 beneath them as a fraction. -3/1 is your rise over 1.
Slope for E = 2x
Slope for F= 1x
Slope for G=1/2x

Answer:
432 in.^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The side of the suitcase is a rectangle. One length is 24 inches. The diagonal of the rectangle is 30 inches long. The diagonal is a hypotenuse of a right triangle. The length is a leg. We need to find the other leg.
We use the Pythagorean theorem,
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(24 in.)^2 + b^2 = (30 in.)^2
576 in.^2 + b^2 = 900 in.^2
b^2 = 324 in.^2
b = sqrt(324 in^2)
b = 18 in
area of rectangle = length * width
A = 24 in. * 18 in.
A = 432 in.^2
