Answer:
y =
x -- 2
Step-by-step explanation
We need to fill out the formula y = mx + b.
First, we must find out what each part of that formula means.
mx = slope
b = y-intercept
y = solution (Always unknown)
We already know the slope of the formula, so we can fill that out.
y =
x + b
If it has a slope of -3/2, then that means it is moving down 3 points and moving to the right 2 points to find the next line. because rise over run.
If it passes through the point (-4, 4) then from their subtract 3 to 4, and 2 to -4.
This means the next point it will reach is (-2, 1). Once again, subtract 3 from 1, and add 2 to -2.
The next point it will reach is (0, -2) This gives us the y-intercept of the equation.
Now we can fill out the rest of the formula!
y =
x -- 2
The answer is 1 + 1 = <em>2</em>
To figure this out, replace the variables with their given values.
p(a/b) = p(.4/.5)
Then you divide!
.4/.5 = .8
Hope this helps!
The original side length was 12m therefore the perimeter was 36m. 12/4 is 3 so the perimeter is now 9, and the difference between them is 27.
P(7,6), Q(1,6), R(4,2)
We have PQ parallel to the x axis. We'll call that the base,
b = 7 - 1 = 6
The altitude is then the y difference h = 6 - 2 = 4
The area is 
Answer: 12 square units
In general we can use the shoelace formula for the area of any polygon given coordinates. We write the points like this:
(7,6), (1,6), (4,2)
(1,6), (4,2), (7,6)
The area is then half the absolute value of the sum of the cross products:
