The slope is 3/2
To find the slope, you have to use the slope formula
y2-y1/x2-x1
6-3/4-2
3/2
So the slope is 3/2
Y=0.5x-0.5
( u find the slope using rise/run then after finding the slope u use the equation and a point on the graph to find the y-intercept
M(x, y) = ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2) = ((-2 + 4)/2, (5 - 9)/2) = (2/2, -4/2) = (1, -2)
The area of the sidewalk is 72 square units. Solution: First, multiply 10 by 12 which equals 120. Then, subtract 6x8=48. So, therefore, 120-48= 72
