Answer:

$-\frac{7}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming you're asking for the slope of the line that passes through the two given points. To find this, use the slope formula: $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ .

Substitute the point coordinates into the formula.

$\frac{-2-5}{6-(-2)} \rightarrow\frac{-7}{8}$

The slope of the line is -7/8.

Answer:

The answer is 76.

Step-by-step explanation:

≅ means to be equal to.

☆Angle DGE ≅ EGF.

Therefore, 3x + 8 = 5x - 12

☆Let's solve that equation.

$3x + 8 = 5x - 12 \\ \frac{ - 5x \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = - 5x \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: }{ - 2x + 8 = - 12} \\ \frac{ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: - 8 = - 8}{ \frac{ - 2x}{ - 2} = \frac{ - 20}{ - 2} } \\ x = 10$
