Hello! The formula for finding slope is y2 - y1/ x2 - x1. This means that you subtract the first x and y-coordinates from the second x and y-coordinates. (-2, 3) is coordinate 1 and (4, -1) is coordinate 2. Let's find what each number would be.

-2 = x1
3 = y1
4= x2
-1 = y2

So then, we would set the formula up like this: -1 - 3/ 4 - (-2). Now, let's subtract. -1 - 3 is -4. 4 - (-2) is 6. -4/6 is -2/3 in simplest form. There. The slope of the line is -2/3.

Note: When you subtract a negative number, you are actually adding. So, if the expression is 4 - (-3), the answer is 7, because you add 3 to 4.

That would be (-1-3) / (4 - (-2)) = -4 / 6 = -2/3 Answer

Area of the parabolic region = Integral of [a^2 - x^2 ]dx | from - a to a =

(a^2)x - (x^3)/3 | from - a to a = (a^2)(a) - (a^3)/3 - (a^2)(-a) + (-a^3)/3 =

= 2a^3 - 2(a^3)/3 = [4/3](a^3)

Area of the triangle = [1/2]base*height = [1/2](2a)(a)^2 = a^3

ratio area of the triangle / area of the parabolic region = a^3 / {[4/3](a^3)} =

Limit of a^3 / {[4/3](a^3)} as a -> 0 = 1 /(4/3) = 4/3
