What is the equation of a line that has a slope of -1/2 and contains the point (8, 1) in slope intercept form

Answer:

y = -(1/2)x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form for a linear equation in slope-intercept form is  

y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Use what we know about our line to solve the rest. By using one of the given points, we have 3 of the 4 variables in the above equation.  Use (8, 1), which is (x, y), and we know that  

m = -1/2

The equation becomes...

1 = -(1/2)(8) + b (now solve for b)

1 = -4 + b  

5 = b

Plug that value into the general form...

y = -(1/2)x + 5

Answer:

16.28 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the square do Base Times height.

Base (5), Height (2)

5 * 2 = 10

To find the semi circle do the regular formula for a circle but divide it by 2 at the end.

Area of a circle is pi time r squared

3.14 * 2^2 = 12.56 (Remember always follow order of operations or PEMDAS by squaring 2^2 first)

Since its a semi circle divide the area of the circle by 2.

12.56 / 2 = 6.28

To find the area of them both you add both areas together.

6.28 + 10 = 16.28 Ft^2
