Answer:
-1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope you have to find the rise over run. Start at the first point then go down 3 and over to the right 1. Your slope is -1/3.
Area of part 1:A1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2Area of part 2:A2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2Area of part 3:A3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2
Total shaded area : A1+A2+A3=41 ft2Total area of the reactangle : A=16*8=128 ft2Total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2
