75/10 is 7.5 as a fraction
Answer:
The slope is 5/-2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope is y1-y2 over m1-m2 (rise over run). The first ordered pair is -2 (m1) and 11 (y1). We then subtract the second ordered pair (4 (m2) and -4 (y2)) from the first.
11 - (-4) = 11 + 4 = 15
-2 - 4 = -6
Remember, slope is rise over run (y over x), so the slope is 15/-6. Now, we must simplify. 15/-6 = 5/-2
Dean went wrong because he thought that slope was run over rise (x over y). If he had switched the two numbers, his answer would have been correct.
The area of a trapezoid if found using the formula
A = (base1 + base2)/2 x height
Area = (3+5)/2 x 1.5
Area = 8/2 x 1.5
Area = 4 x 1.5
Area = 6 square feet.
