Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

This looks like point-slope form, which I find personally hideous. Let's change it to slope-intercept form to ease my conscience. (remember that slope-intercept form is y=mx+b, where m=slope and b=y-intercept!)

y - 5 = -4(x-8)

y - 5 = -4x + 32

y = -4x + 37

It's in slope-intercept form now! And -4 looks to be our m.

<u>So the slope is -4.</u>

Answer:

the correct one is c, which is the second option

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle of a polygon is 360.

And for a rectangle, they have equal exterior angles.

So a rectangle has 4 sides

So each exterior angle=360/4

Then each is 90°

Then the correct c which has 90°

Circle the number that makes each equation true.

For the first one, the answer is -51

I'm sorry, but I don't know the answer for the second one. Either way, I hope this helped you.
