Shown below is the graph on the x-y plane.
Your equation has only one variable, so a graph on the number line is appropriate. It would extend outward from ±2, where the points would be indicated by open circles.
A4 80g copy paper 297mm long ang 0.1mm thick so after 7 folds you would have 2.5mm of length 12.8mm of thickness.
Actually i cant fold it more than 6 times because the thickness going arund in each fold would consume to much.
Slope of the line passing through two points <span><span>P=<span>(<span><span>x1</span>,<span>y1</span></span>) </span></span></span>and <span><span>Q=<span>(<span><span>x2</span>,<span>y2</span></span>)</span></span></span> is given by <span><span>m=<span><span><span>y2</span>−<span>y1/</span></span><span><span>x2</span>−<span>x1</span></span></span></span></span>.
We have that <span><span><span>x1</span>=−8</span></span>, <span><span><span>y1</span>=−3</span></span>, <span><span><span>x2</span>=−3</span></span>, <span><span><span>y2</span>=4</span></span>.
Plug given values into formula for slope: <span><span>m=<span><span><span>(4)</span>−<span>(<span>−3</span>)/</span></span><span><span>(<span>−3</span>)</span>−<span>(<span>−8</span>)</span></span></span>=<span>7/5</span></span></span>.
Now y-intercept is <span><span>b=<span>y1</span>−m⋅<span>x1</span></span></span> .
<span><span>b=−3−<span>(<span>7/5</span>)</span>⋅<span>(<span>−8</span>)</span>=<span>41/5.</span></span></span>
Finally, equation of the line can be written in the form <span><span>y=mx+b</span></span>.
<span><span>y=<span>7/5</span>x+<span>41/5</span></span></span>
