Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope, denoted m

This is done by using the formula m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

The slope for this problem is

m = [-3 - (-1)]/[8 - (-2)]

m = -2/10 = -1/5

Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the slope of CD.

We know C is (-10, -2)

and we know D is (10,6)

If we use the slope formula, we can see the slope is $m=\frac{6-(-2)}{10-(-10)}$

$m = \frac{8}{20} \\m=\frac{2}{5}$

We can see point F is at (6,-4)

We can find the equation of this line by using point slope form, and plugging in F as our point.

$y-(-4)=\frac{2}{5}(x-6)\\y=\frac{2}{5}x-\frac{32}{5}$

To find where E, we need to find the y value when x = -4

$y=\frac{2}{5}(-4)-\frac{32}{5}\\y =-8$
