Answer: m = -1

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem we're asked to find the slope of the line that contains the points (-2,5) and (6,-3).

Using our slope formula, we take the second y minus the first y which in this case is -3 - 5 over our second x minus our first x which in this case is 6 - -2.

-3 - 5 simplifies to -8 and remember that minus a negative can be thought of as plus a positive so 6 - (-2) can be thought of as 6 + (+2) which is 8.

Now we have -8/8. Notice that our slope can be simplified one step further so we have m = -1.

The variable that's used to represent slope is m.

a quadrilateral has 2 right angles. the measure of the third angle is 73, what is the measure of the forth angle?

hoa [83]

Answer: 107 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadrilateral is defined as a 2-dimensional closed shape which has four sides and four vertices.

By definition the interior angles of a quadrilateral add up 360 degrees.

We know that this quadrilateral has 2 right angles (which are angles that measure 90 degrees) and we know that the measure of the third angle is 73 degrees.

Let be "x" the measure of the fourth angle.

Then you can write this expression:

$360\°=90\°+90\°+73\°+x$
