Answer:
slope is -2
Step-by-step explanation:
1. go to geogebra.org/classic (this is a graphing calculator)
2. enter your two points by using the second button on the top of the screen
3. connect a line from one point to the other using the 3rd button on the top of the screen
4. click on the line and it shall tell you the equation, including the slope :O))))
the slope is -2 and the equation is y = -2x + 18

Hi!
We are given the information found in the picture below.
Note: The directions aren't correct, but the triangle works for this problem.
The "direct path" is the hypotenuse of this triangle.
To find this, we use the Pythagorean Theorem, where 
and 
are 2 legs of the triangle, and 
is the hypotenuse, aka the longest side of any triangle:
We know and and want
Therefore, is approximately 
Answer:
13.2 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, we will need to first solve for the base of the triangle and then use the information we find to solve for the shortest route.
(5.5 + 3.5)² + b² = 15²
9² + b² = 15²
81 + b² = 225
b² = 144
b = 12
Now that we know that the base is 12 miles, we can use that and the 5.5 miles in between Adamsburg and Chenoa to find the shortest route (hypotenuse).
5.5² + 12² = c²
30.25 + 144 = c²
174.25 = c²
13.2 ≈ c
Therefore, the shortest route from Chenoa to Robertsville is about 13.2 miles.
