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.

Find the area of rectangle with sides 2 5/6 and 4 4/7

g100num [7]

<h3>Given :</h3>

Length = $\sf2\dfrac{5}{6}$ cm.
Breadth = $\sf4\dfrac{4}{7}$ cm.

The area of rectangle.

<h3>Solution :</h3>

Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth

$\sf=2\dfrac{5}{6}\times4\dfrac{4}{7}$

$\sf=\dfrac{17}{6}\times\dfrac{25}{7}$

$\sf=\dfrac{17\times25}{6\times7}$

$\sf=\dfrac{425}{42}$

<h3>Area of rectangle is 425/42 cm².</h3>

Which ordered pair could be removed from the graph to create a set of ordered pairs that represents a function?

Take away 1,3 it interferes with 1,1 making it not a function. You can use the vertical line test and see if more than one is in a vertical line to find it.
