Find and review the slope formula.
The slope of a line segment that connects the points (a, b) and (c, d) is
d-b
m = --------------
c-a
Write out this formula for a=-3, b=-4, c=6 and d=-1.
It’s either 11.25 or 27.75. Next time please show the answer choices too!
Let's say the second piece is x ft long
The first piece is 2x ft long
The third piece is x+4 ft long
All of the pieces should add up to 10ft
x+2x+x+4=10
4x= 6
x=1.5ft
The first piece is 2x ft long=3 ft long
