Answer:

m=-\frac{8}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

A(-1,4),B(4,-4)

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

substitute the values

m=\frac{-4-4}{4+1}

m=\frac{-8}{5}

m=-\frac{8}{5}

Answer: -\frac{8}{5}

Remember: RISE/RUN (y/x). Lines that are increasing have a positive slope, and lines that are decreasing have a negative slope.

You can find the slope in two ways:

1. Useful if the line is graphed: count the units between 2 points on the line.

  • Let's use the points (-1, 4) and (4, -4).
  • (-1, 4) is 8 units higher than (4, -4) and 5 units to the left of (4, -4).
  • Because the line is decreasing, the slope is negative.
  • Therefore, the slope is -\frac{8}{5}.

2. Useful if the line is not graphed: find the difference between the y-coordinate values divided by the difference of the x-coordinate values.

  • Let's use the points (-1, 4) and (4, -4).
  • \frac{-4 - 4}{4 - (-1)} = \frac{-8}{5}
  • Therefore, the slope is -\frac{8}{5}.

If one side of a cube is 15m in length,find its volume
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

V = 3375~m^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the volume of a cube is V = a^{3} where "a" would correspond to the length of an edge/side/height/etc.

If we insert our value into the formula, we get the following result:

V = a^{3}

V = 15m^{3}

V = 3375~m^{3}~(cubic~meters)

Hope it helped,
