So to fine slope you would use the formula down below:
rise/run
So use a graphed point, 0, -5 and you rise or count up quadrants up to a point and then horizontally move to when you find that point.
So from 0,-5 go up 9 vertically, and you would be on the 4
Go horizontal 3 spots and your on a designated point.
So the rise is four and the run is 3
So 4/3 is the slope
In the y= Mx + b equation you would set the equation like this:
y= 4/3 + -5
The m in this formula stands for the slop and the b stands for the y-intercept
The y-intercept is the point that is on the y-axis and where it starts.
First, find the area of the triangle. The height is 9 and the base is 33. So, multiply the base times height, which is 297. Now, divide 297 by 2. This equals 148.5. Secondly, find the area of the rectangle. Multiply the length times the width. 38•20= 760. Now, add the areas of the two shapes. 148.5+760= 908.5. So, 908.5 is your final answer. :)
Hope this helps!
