What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-8, -6) and (2, -3)

3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = y2 - y1/x2 - x1

-3 + 6/2 +8

3/10

To find the slope of this line, I will show you the graphing method.

To find the slope of the line using the graphing method, we first set up a coordinate system like I have done for you below.

Next, we plot our two points.

Start by plotting (-8, -6) which we label point A and (2, -3) which

we label point B and we graph our line through the two points.

Next, remember that the slope or m is equal

to the rise/run from point A to point B.

To get from point A to point B, we rise 3 units and run 10 units.

So our slope or rise/run is 3/10.

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
