5 x 5/2 = 25/2
answer
25/2 units
Your reasoning and your answer were both correct. Discuss with the teacher. ("Discuss". DON'T fight.)
Notice that for this question, they are providing you with:
1) The slope of the line (4)
2) a point on the plane through which the line goes (6, -2)
So you can directly use for this the "point-slope" form of a line which is as follows:

This includes m as the slope, and the pair (x0, y0) as the pair representing the point the line goes through.
So, let's use the info they gave you to complete this:

which we can work out a little more:

And even a little more to finish the equation of the line in its standard slope-intercept form:

So the equation of the line is:
Answer:
24 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
If you use 0 as kind of a benchmark it is really useful, frist you subtract 7, because it is our positive number., then you subtract 17 from 0, making -17.
7+17=24
