Answer: -5

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating the slope of a line is given as :

m=\frac{y_{2} }{x_{2}} - \frac{y_{1}}{x_{1}}

$x_{1}$ = 8

$x_{2}$ = 6

$y_{1}$ = 5

$y_{2}$ = 15

substituting into the formula , we have

m = $\frac{15-5}{6-8}$

m = $\frac{10}{-2}$

m = -5

Therefore the slope is -5

|1|, |-4|, |-3|, |2|

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

|1| = 1

|-4| = 4

|-3| = 3

|2| = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value function is defined by

$|x|=\begin{cases}x,&x\ge0\\-x,&x$

Since 1>0, we have |1| = 1.

Since -4<0, we have |-4| = -(-4) = 4.

Since -3<0, we have |-3| = -(-3) = 3.

Since 2>0, we have |2| = 2.

If the area of a square is 100 cm2, what is the perimeter?<br>

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perimeter, first we need to find the side lengths.

If 100 cm is the area then we need to find what number squared is 100

10 x 10 = 100

So 10 is the side length. P= s + s + s +s

10 + 10 + 10 +10 = 40
