The equation for working out the slope of a linear line is: 
, where x and y are the coordinate pairs.
So just pick two of the purple dots on the graph and fill in the equation.
I'll pick the dot that's (-4, 1) and (4, -7).
Now I just do 
, which is just 
when simplified.

Hey there could you please show an image of said graphs!
Square because it's sides and angles are always congruent with eachother
Answer:
80 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
You can split it into a rectangle and a triangle. The area of the rectangle would be 2 * 16 = 32 square feet.
Next, you need to find the height of the triangle. To do this, you can split the triangle into two right triangles and use the pythagorean theorem to find the height. The dimensions of one of the right triangle is 8 for one of the legs and 10 for the hypotenuse. Using the pythagorean theorem, 8^2 + b^2 = 10^2, which is 64 + b^2 = 100, so b^2 = 36 and b = 6. This means that the height is 6. Now, you find the area of the triangle and you get 16 * 6 / 2 = 48.
Adding the area of the rectangle and the triangle: 32 + 48 = 80
Not sure why that's not an answer choice, I'm fairly confident it's right.
