Answer:

The correct answer is second option

-1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Points to remember

The slope of line passing through (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by,

Slope = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

<u>To find the slope of given line</u>

Here, (x₁, y₁) = (-2, -1) and (x₂, y₂) = (8, -3)

Slope = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = ( -3 - - 1)/(8 - -2)

 = (-3 + 1)/(8 + 2) = -2/10

 = -1/5

Therefore the correct answer is second option -1/5

Answer:

- 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of a line passing through two points can be calculated as:

\text{slope}=\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} \\\\ \text{slope}=\frac{\text{Difference of y coordinates}}{\text{Difference of x coordinates}}

The given points are (-2, -1) and (8, -3). Using the values in above formula, we get:

\text{slope}=\frac{-3-(-1)}{8-(-2)}\\\\ \text{slope}=\frac{-3+1}{8+2}\\\\ \text{slope}=\frac{-2}{10}\\\\ \text{slope}=\frac{-1}{5}

Thus the slope of the line through the given points is -1/5. So 2nd option gives the correct answer

The perimeter of a triangle is 42 inches one side measures 18 inches the shortest side measures x inches the longest side measur
Oksana_A [137]
By writing an equation you can easily solve this:

18+ X + 4X - 1 = 42
•we need the answer to 4X-1

1. put the parts that include the X parameter in one side and the integer numbers in one side :
X + 4X = 25
5X= 25
X= 5

2. 4X-1 —> 4x5-1 = 19

What is the area of a triangle with vertices at (−4, 1) , ​ (−7, 5) ​ , and ​ (0, 1) ​ ?
Mekhanik [1.2K]
Plot the points on a graph. Connect the dots into a triangle. See that the height of the triangle is from y=5 down to y=1. So the height is 4 units.
 Area of a triangle: A = (1/2)BH

You need to find the length of the base. Which is from point (-4,1) to (0,1). You can use the distance formula r just see from the graph that the base is 4 units.

A = (1/2)(4)(4)
A = 8

** Distance formula fyi
d² = (X-x)² + (Y-y)²
with points (X,Y) and (x,y)
