The answer is C. b=2. I found the answer by first finding the slope. To find the slope i found the difference of the y values and divided that by the difference of the x values. 14-5/4-1 This simplifies down to: 9/3 which equals 3. I then plugged this into the slope intercept form: y=mx+b to get y=3x+b The next step would be to plug in the values of one of the points to solve for b. The point I choose was (1,5). By plugging this point into the equation i got 5=3(1)+b which simplifies to 5=3+b which means that b=2
The decimal point must be moved 3 places to the right in order to have it behind the first non-zero digit; this gives us the exponent of 3, and since we are moving the decimal to the right, it is a negative exponent.
To find the with divide 102 by 17, we get 6. Then add 6+6+17+17 because we know this is a rectangle and it has 2 with sides and 2 length sides. We get the answer of 36.
