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.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx+b
y=5x-1
Simplify. Combine like terms
12x - 9x = 3x
7 - 15 = -8
3x - 8 is your answer

The best way to do this is to make up values for the sides.
Say the lengths of square B's sides are each 4 cm. That means A's sides are 2 cm.
So, the area of square B is 4^2 = 16 cm^2, and A's area is 4 cm^2. We can see the shaded area is half of A, so it's 2 cm^2.
What percent of 16 is 2?
2 / 16 * 100 = 12.5%
