Let's find the slope :

taking :

  • y_2 = 6

  • y_1 = 8

  • x_2 = 4

  • x_1 =  - 2

now, we know the formula to find the slope, that is :

  • \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 -x_1 }

  • \dfrac{6 - 8}{4 - ( - 2)}

  • \dfrac{ - 2}{ 6}

  • - \dfrac{ 1}{3}

Answer:

\boxed {-\frac{1}{3}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\boxed {\sf{Slope}=\cfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}

\sf \left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-2,\:8\right)

\sf \left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(4,\:6\right)

__________________

\sf slope \:(m)=\cfrac{6-8}{4-\left(-2\right)}

\boxed {\sf Subtract \:the \:numbers:-}

\sf Slope\:(m)=-\cfrac{1}{3}

The four points (−2, 5), (−2, −1), (6, −1), and (3, 5) are the vertices of a polygon. What is the area, in square units, of this
crimeas [40]
Look at the picture.

The polygon is a right-angled trapezoid.

The area is:
A=\frac{a+b}{2} \times h

The points (-2,-1) and (6,-1) lie on the same horizontal line, so the distance between them is 6-(-2)=6+2=8. The length of a is 8 units.
The points (-2,5) and (3,5) lie on the same horizontal line, so the distance between them is 3-(-2)=3+2=5. The length of b is 5 units.
The points (-2,5) and (-2,-1) lie on the same vertical line, so the distance between them is 5-(-1)=5+1=6. The length of h is 6 units.

A=\frac{8+5}{2} \times 6=\frac{13}{2} \times 6=13 \times 3=39

The area is 39 square units.
