Answer:
<u>The slope is -3.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is the Rise/Run between the two points. The change in y for every change in x. Take the two points and calculate the:
RISE = (-6 - 3) = -9
RUN = (8 - 5) = 3
Rise/Run, or slope, is = -9/3 or -3
I graphed a line with slope of -3 and then added 18 to force the line to intersect the two given points.
The arcs all equal to the third of the perimeter since equilateral triangle divides them like this.
So we need to find a perimeter but we are only given the area.
Let's review,
That means that from area we area able to calculate radius.
Insert the numbers,
Then use the perimeter formula to calculate perimeter since radius is known,
Now divide perimeter by 3 to get length of AB arc.
Hope this helps.
