You calculate it by taking the change in y's over the change in x's. So (y1-y2)/(x1-x2). You get the equation (-5 - 3)/(5 - 7) which equals 4. 4 is the slope.
You start with 24, there are 8 added, there are 12 taken away, then 9 are taken away. The equation looks like:
24 + 8 - 12 - 9 = <u>11</u>
Answer:
8 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The x coordinates don't change so you just subtract 2 from 10 to get the distance.
