What’s the rise over run pleas???

  -1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the ratio of rise to run on a graph, it is convenient to start by looking for points where the graph crosses the intersection of grid lines. This lets you read the exact coordinates of the points, without any guessing.

In the attachment, the grid crossings we chose are circled.

The "rise" is the vertical distance between the points. If the right point is lower, the "rise" is negative.

The "run" is the horizontal distance between the points.

The reason for choosing grid crossings is that it then becomes fairly easy to count the grid lines between the points, vertically and horizontally.

On this graph, the "rise" is -1 for a "run" of 5. Then the slope, or ratio of rise to run, is ...

  m = rise/run = -1/5 . . . . . . slope of the line

-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
