Find the slope of the line on the graph. Write your answer as a fraction or a whole number, not a mixed number or decimal.

slope = -2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

First we identify two points on the line.  Preferably the points should be far apart to improve precision.

Here, we choose

P1(-9,7), P2(9,-5)

The formula to find slope m is given as

m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)                      substitute values

m = (-5-7) /(9-(-9)  = -12 / 18 = -2/3

Therefore the slope of the given line is -2/3

The slope is

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph using points (- 3 , 3) and

( 6 , - 3)

The slope is

-3 - 3 / 6 + 3

= -6/9

= - 2/3

Hope this helps you

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3

answer is x<
