Answer: 
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 .
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).
- Therefore, the slope is .

Question
Find the perimeter of a triangle with vertices A(2,5) B(2,-2) C(5,-2). Round your answer to the nearest tenth and show your work.
perimeter of a triangle = AB+AC+BC
Using the distance formula
AB = sqrt(-2-5)²+(2-2)²
AB = sqrt(-7)²
AB =sqrt(49)
AB =7
BC = sqrt(-2+2)²+(2-5)²
BC = sqrt(0+3²)
BC =sqrt(9)
BC =3
AC= sqrt(-2-5)²+(2-5)²
AC= sqrt(-7)²+3²
AC =sqrt(49+9)
AC =sqrt58
Perimeter = 10+sqrt58
40 common factors multiplication
Hello!
The greatest common factor (GCF) is self explanatory. We find the factors of each number, and find the largest ones that are in common
12: 1,12,2,6,3,4
33:1,33,3,11,
As you can see, the greatest number these two have in common is 3.
Now for the next set.
45: 1,45,3,15,5,9
70:1,70,2,35,5,14,7,10
As you can see, our GCF is 5.
Therefore, our answers are below.
9) 3
10) 5
I hope this helps!
