Answer:

$m=\frac{-2}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Plug in the numbers (coordinates) given, like so:

$m=\frac{3-7}{6+4}$

$m=\frac{-4}{10}$

Simplify:

$m=\frac{-2}{5}$

Answer:

-2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is found by

m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (3-7)/(6 - -4)

= -4/(6+4)

- 4/(10)

= -2/5

If it is a rhombus then you know each side is the same length, so only have to work out one side. To do this you have to use Pythagoras' theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)
So take two sets of coordinates, for example, (0,3) and (5,3), a and b represent the height difference and the length difference. Therefore (5-0)^2 + (3-3)^2 = c^2
c^2 = 25
c = 5 , which would be the side of the rhombus

The answer has to be in y-intercept form. Which is y=mx+b and b can also be neg. y=mx-b. The m is your slope and b is your y-intercept. So A’s slope counting from 3 on the y axis to 1 on the x-axis which is down 2 over 1 so it will be -2/1. And your y intercept is 3. The equation is y=-2x+3. For B its the same thing but no graph. Remember that slope is RISE over RUN. So since the number is on the bottom of the line the rise is 4 and the run is 1. So in this case 10 is your y-intercept. Which means you equation is y=4x+10.
