Answer:

slope is -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Find slope which is also referred to as m:

m = (y₂ - y₁) / (X₂ - X₁)

   = (-7 - 5) / (1 - (-2)

   = -12 / 3

m = -4

Not asked in question but if you want to find equation for the line:

Find b using any one of the two provided coordinates. Let's use (-2, 5).

y = mx + b

5 = -4(-2) + b

5 = 8 + b

b = -3

Use m and b to make equation.

y = mx + b

y = -4x - 3

Answer:

  • -4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given points </u>

  • (-2, 5) (1, -7)

<u>Use slope formula to find the slope</u>

  • m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
  • m = (-7 -5)/(1 + 2) = -12/3 = -4

Slope is -4

Hi!

Two negatives make a positive, so this can be rewritten as
-7+2.5

The answer is D. -7+2.5

Hope this helps! :)

Please help find surface area!!
NeTakaya

Answer:

138 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

So first, we find the S.A. of the front and back.

The diagram says the side length of the front is 3 cm. and 3 cm.

3x3=9. So then, the back is also 9 cm, 9+9=18.

Now to find the S.A.'s of the four sides, you have to see the side lengths of each of them. The side lengths are 3 and 10.

3x10=30. This means each of them is 30 cm.

30x4=120. 120 is the total surface area of the four sides.

To find the total surface area of the whole rectangle, you add all the surface areas.

120+18=138 cm. (Not squared, since it's surface area and not area.)
