Answer:

y = 3x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

General equation of a line in the slope intercept form is

y = mx + b ,

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept ( where intercepts the y-axis)

y = 3x + b ,

because is given slope is m = 3

For point (x = -2, y = -8) we have

-8 = 3 (-2) + b

-8 = -6 + b

-8 + 6 = b

-2 = b

The equation of the line that passes through the point (-2,-8) and has a slope of 3 is

y = 3x -2

Answer:

$-p^2+32$

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by expanding the $-2$ into the $(p-4)$ bracket using the distributive method:

$-2(p-4)\\-2p + 8$

Now, expand the result into the remaining bracket:

$(-2p + 8)(p+4)\\-2p^2 -8p+8p+32\\-2p^2 + 32$

What makes a square a square <br> why isn't a rectangle?

Lilit [14]

A square is a geometrical figure that has 4 congruent sides and angles. This means all side lengths and angles are the same.

A rectangle is a geometrical figure that has 4 similar sides but are not the same length. However, a rectangle does have congruent angles. A rectangle has 2 sides that are double the other 2 sides, in which both of each (length & width) have the same measurement.

I hope this helps!
