Answer: 2

Explanation: To solve this problem, it's important to understand that we don't need to graph the line but we can use our slope formula. One method you could use is the graphing method which requires you to plot the points but I will be showing you the slope formula.

$m =\frac{ ^{y}2 - ^{y}1 }{x^{2} - x^{1} }$

We take our second y minus our first y

which in this case is 12 - 4

over our second x minus our first x

which in this case is 6 - 2.

So 12 - 4 over 6 - 2 simplifies to 8/4.

Notice that our slope can

be simplified one step further.

So 8/4 reduces to 2.

So the slope of the line that passes through these points is 2.

Answer:

528 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of this prism comprises:

2 congruent triangles (the bases of the prism)
2 congruent rectangles (rectangle 1 and 2) - since the triangle has 2 sides of equal length
1 rectangle (rectangle 3)

Area of a triangle = 1/2 × base × height

= 1/2 × 16 × 6

= 48 cm²

Area of rectangle 1 / 2 = width × length

= 10 × 12

= 120 cm²

Area of rectangle 3 = width × length

= 16 × 12

= 192 cm²

Total Surface Area = 2 triangles + 2 rectangles + rectangle 3

= (2 × 48) + (2 × 120) + 192

= 96 + 240 + 192
