Write out the slope formula:

m = (change in y) / (change in x)

Here,

m = n-(-9) / (-6-(-2)) = (n+9 / (-4)

Now set this slope equal to -1 and solve the resulting equation for n:

(n+9) / (-4) = - 1, or (n+9) / 4 = 1, or n+9 = 4. Then n = -5.

The berry-picking boxes at Bingo Berry Farm have square bottoms that are 8 centimeters on each side. Santiago fills his box with

Pie

You can solve this by doing 8×8×6 which gives you 384. Since we are finding the volume, you would do length times with times height. Hope this helps :-)
