Answer:

slope = - $\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - $\frac{1}{2}$ x + 3 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - $\frac{1}{2}$

Given : A linear equation in two variables is given to us , which is y = -½ + 3 .

To Find : The slope of the line .

Solution : The given equation to us is y = -½ + 3 . This equation is also similar to form of a equation in slope - intercept form , which is ,

$\large\boxed{\red{\bf y = mx + c }}$

Where , m is the slope of the line and c is the y - intercept of the line .

Now , on comparing the equation with the standard form , we have :

m ( slope ) = -½ .
c ( y - intercept ) = 3 .

Hence the slope of the line is -½.

What is the area of this composite shape? Enter your answer in the box. _in²

LuckyWell [14K]

The area of the composite figure is $40 in^2$

Explanation:

From the given figure, we can see that the area of the composite figure = area of the rectangle + area of the triangle.

Area of the rectangle $(A_1)$ :

The formula is given by

$A_1=length\times width$

where $length = 5$ and $width = 5$

Substituting, we have,

$A_1=7\times 5=35 in^{2}$

Thus, the area of the rectangle = $35 i n^{2}$

Area of the triangle $(A_2)$ :

The formula is given by

$A_2=\frac{1}{2} bh$

where $b=5-3=2 i n$

and $h=12-7=5 \text { in }$

Substituting, we have,

$A_2=\frac{1}{2} (2)(5)\\A_2=5 in ^{2}$

Thus, the area of the triangle = $5in ^{2}$

Area of the composite figure = Area of the rectangle + area of the triangle

Area of the composite figure = $35 i n^{2}+5 i n^{2}=40 i n^{2}$

Thus, the area of the composite figure is $40 in^2$
