You find your slope with the equation
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(-1-2)/ -4-1.5)
(-3)/(-5.5)
.54x is your slope
you then plug that into your equation.
y=mx+b
y=.54x+b
you substitute one of our coordinates.
(-4,-1)
-1=.54(-4)+b
-1=-3.45+b
+3.45
2.45=b
your equation is
y=.54x+2.45
standard form
y-.54x=2.45
The answer is A.) 5 because it’s the smaller number
It only equals positive 12, that symbol means it equals positive and negative 12

Answer:
- ABCD is a rhombus, and a parallelogram
==================================
<h3>Given </h3>
- Points A(-6, - 1), B(4, - 6), C(2, 5), D(- 8, 10)
First, plot the points (see attached picture).
Then, connect all the points.
<h3>We see that:</h3>
- Opposite sides are parallel,
- Diagonals are perpendicular.
From our observation the figure is rhombus.
Let's confirm it with the following.
1) Find midpoints of diagonals and compare.
- AC → x = (- 6 + 2)/2 = - 2, y = (- 1 + 5)/2 = 2
- BD → x = (4 - 8)/2 = - 2, y = (- 6 + 10)/2 = 2
The midpoint of both diagonals is same (- 2, 2).
2) Find slopes of diagonals and check if their product is -1, this will confirm they are perpendicular.
- m(AC) = (5 - (-1))/(2 - (-6)) = 6/8 = 3/4
- m(BD) = (10 - (-6))/(-8 - 4) = - 16/12 = - 4/3
- m(AC) × m(BD) = 3/4 * (- 4/3) = - 1
<u>Confirmed.</u>
So this is a rhombus and also a parallelogram but <u>not</u> rectangle or square, since opposite angles are not right angles.
