to find a slope you subtract the y value of the 2nd point from the y value of the 1st point then you devide that by the difference of the x value of the 2nd point subtracted from the x value of the 1st point. so 5-3 devided by -3-4, 5-3=2, -3-4=-7. so m = 2/-7 is your slope. the slope is usually represented with the letter m.
The measurements are:
b₁ = 8.4 inches; b₂ = 14 inches; leg₁ = 2.8 inches; leg₂ = 2.8 inches
Let x = length of base and leg
The formula for perimeter of isosceles trapezoid is P = b₁ + b₂ + 2(leg)
Where: b = base
P = b₁ + b₂ + 2(leg)
28 = 3x + 5x + 2(x)
28 = 8x + 2x
28/10 = 10x/10
2.8 = x
Now, substitute the values:
P = b₁ + b₂ + 2(leg)
28 = 3(2.8) + 5(2.8) + 2(2.8)
28 = 8.4 + 14 + 5.6
28 = 28
Hence the measurements are:
b₁ = 8.4 inches; b₂ = 14 inches; leg₁ = 2.8 inches; leg₂ = 2.8 inches

Answer:
y = -2x + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx + c
m is the gradient and c is the y intercept
m = (y 2 - y 1) / (x 2 - x 1) = (2-4) / ( 2-1) = -2
y= -2x + c
To find c, just sub one of the coordinates into the eqn:
By using the coordinates (1,4)
4 = -2(1) + c
c = 6
Therefore, the equation is y = -2x + 6
Its linear , if side is x then perimeter is 4x
