Hello,
If you are starting with the angle of 40 degrees, you have an adjacent side and hypotenuse. Therefore, it is a cosine relationship.
We can write:
cos(40) = adj / hyp
cos(40) = x / 220
To solve for x, simply multiply 220 by the cos(40).
You can write it as: 220 cos(40)
Good luck,

The slope of the line is 
First, you must find 2 points.
(-6,8) (-2,5)
Then, you must substitute the value of the points in.

Finally, simplify the fraction.
