Answer:

Slope: $-\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Use slope formula to find the slope

$m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2- x1}=\frac{4-1}{-2-7}=\frac{3}{-9} =-\frac{1}{3}$

Therefore the slope of a line that passes through (-2, 4) and (7, 1) is $-\frac{1}{3}$

Answer:

Any angle that is on the inside of a shape is called an interior angle.

An employee of a store's gift wrapping center is wrapping 8 gifts

Hitman42 [59]

The area A of a rectangle is A = bh, where b is the base of the rectangle and h is the height. The area of each rectangle with side lengths 1.5 ft and 2 ft is 1.5 × 2 = 3ft2. Since there are two rectangles with these dimensions, the combined area is 2 × 3 = 6 ft2. The area of each rectangle with side lengths 1.5 ft and 2.5 ft is 1.5 × 2.5 = 3.75 ft2. The area of each rectangle with side lengths 2 ft and 2.5 ft is 2 × 2.5 = 5 ft2. Since there are two rectangles of each type, the combined area is 2 × 3.75 + 2 × 5 =17.5 ft2. So, the total surface area of the box is 6 ft2+ 17.5 ft2 = 23.5 ft2

The employee needs to wrap 8 boxes, each with a surface area of 23.5 ft2. So, the combined surface area needing to be wrapped is 8 × 23.5 = 188 ft2. Since there is only 160 square feet of wrapping paper left, the employee will not be able to wrap all of the gifts
