Answer: m = \frac{-7}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating slope is given by :

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

x_{1} = -2

x_{2} = 1

y_{1} = 5

y_{2} = -2

substituting the values :

m = \frac{-2-5}{1-(-2)}

m = \frac{-7}{3}

M = -7/3 Or -2.333


The slope formula

slope = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Notice that the slope of a line is easily calculated by hand using small, whole number coordinates. The formula becomes increasingly useful as the coordinates take on larger values or decimal values

A square has a side length that is decreasing at a rate of 8 cm per second. What is the rate of change of the area of the square
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

<h2><em>112cm²/sec</em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a square is expressed as A = L² where L is the length of one side of the square.

The rate of change of area will be expressed  using chain rule as;

dA/dt = dA/dL * dL/dt where;

dL/dt is the rate at which the side length of the square is decreasing.

Given L = 7cm, dL/dt = 8cm/sec and dA/dL = 2L

dA/dL = 2(7)

dA/dL = 14cm

Substituting the given value into the chain rule expression above to get the rate of change of the area of the square, we will have;

dA/dt = dA/dL * dL/dt

dA/dt = 14cm * 8cm/sec

dA/dt = 112cm²/sec

<em>Hence, the rate of change of the area of the square when the side length is 7 cm is 112cm²/sec</em>
