The slope of the line can be calculated as:

(1-7) / (10-1) = -6 / 9 = -2/3

M (Slope of a line) = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

Plug in the points accordingly.

M = 1 - 7 / 10 - 1
M = -6 / 9
M = -2 / 3 (simplified)

Therefore M = -2/3

Answer:

430 $in^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area, use the area for a parallelogram formula:

A = bh, where A is the area, b is the length of the base, and c is the height of the parallelogram.

Next, substitute the values of the base and height:

A = 20in. * 21.5 in.

Finally, simplify the multiplication:

A = 430 $in^{2}$

The ages of three family children can be expressed as consecutive integers. the square of the age of the youngest child is 4 mor

sukhopar [10]

Let the middle child be x
youngest child = x - 1
Oldest child = x + 1

(x - 1)^2 = 8(x + 1) + 4
x^2 - 2x + 1 = 8x + 8 + 4
x^2 - 10x - 11 = 0
(x - 11) * (x + 1) = 0

X = - 1 makes no sense. How can a middle child be - 1 years old?
x = 11

The youngest child is 10
The middle child is 11
The oldest child is 12

Check
=====
10^2 = 100
(8*12) + 4
96 + 4 = 100 So the results have been checked.
