First you have to find the missing y
To find an area of a parallelogram is by multiplying the b and h to get 1095.2
(-2,8) (1,2)
m=2-8/1-(-2)
m=-6/3
m= -2
y=-2x+b
(-2,8)
8=-2(-2)+b
8=-4+b
12=b
b=12
y=-2x+12
Hope this helps!
The final population of the flies is equal to the growth rate minus the number of flies consumed by the spiders. That is,
final population = 6(3^x) - (4x + 1)
Substituting 2 to the x of the equation above,
final population = 6(3²) - (4(2) + 1) = 45
Thus, the final population of the flies would be 45.
