To find the slope of this line, first pick out two points on the line. We'll use (1,4) and (-1,3).

Using this information, you can find the slope with the slope formula: $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}} {x_{2}-x_{1}}$

In this problem, x1=1, x2=-1, y1=4, and y2=3. Now, plug in and solve:

$\frac{3-4}{-1-1}= \frac{-1}{-2} =\frac{1}{2}$

The slope of the line is 1/2.

Hope this helps!

Part 1: The equation of the line is $y=2x+1$

Part 2: The equation of the line in slope intercept form is $y=-3x-1$

Explanation:

Part 1: It is given that the point A is $(1,3)$ and the line B is $y=2 x-2$

To determine the line passing through the point A and parallel to line B, let us first determine the slope and y-intercept.

From the equation of line B, the slope is $m=2$

Substituting the point $(1,3)$ and $m=2$ in slope intercept form $y=mx+b$ , we have,

$3=2(1)+b$

$3=2+b$

$1=b$

Thus, the y-intercept is $b=1$

Let us substitute the values $m=2$ and $b=1$ in the slope intercept form $y=mx+b$ , we get,

$y=2x+1$

Thus, the equation of the line passing though point A and parallel to line B is $y=2x+1$

Part 2: The given two coordinates are $(-1,2)$ and $(1,-4)$

To determine the equation of line in slope intercept form, first we shall find the slope and y-intercept.

From the graph, we can see that the line touches the y-axis at -1.

Hence, the y-intercept is $b=-1$

The formula for slope is $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Substituting the coordinates $(-1,2)$ and $(1,-4)$ , we have,

$m=\frac{-4-2}{1+1} =\frac{-6}{2} =-3$

Thus, the slope is $m=-3$

Substituting the values $b=-1$ and $m=-3$ in the slope intercept formula $y=mx+b$ , we get,

$y=-3x-1$

Thus, the equation of the line in slope intercept form is $y=-3x-1$

21 3/16...as a decimal
the 21 is a whole number and goes to the left of the decimal....and the fraction 3/16 goes to the right of the decimal.
3/16 = 0.1875....now add ur 21 and u get 21.1875 inches wide

2 3/8....as a decimal
3/8 = 0.375....now put ur 2 in there and it becomes 2.375 inches thick
