( please help!! )Find the slope of each line

-2/5

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is rise over run according to my former algebra teacher, but I learned it differently (still correct tho).

The first moves 2 units down so negative 2, and moves 5 units right, so -2/5 since the rise is -2, and run is 5.

The second one moves 2 x-units for every 1 y-unit, so the slope is 2,

3 ft

step-by-step explanation:

since the triangle is right use pythagoras' identity to solve for a

the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides, that is

a² + 8² = ( )²

a² + 64 = 73 ( subtract 64 from both sides )

a² = 9 ( take the square root of both sides )

a = = 3
