Yeah, mostly is has to be negative, but in some cases a is greater than 1 than we do some other operations.
Answer:
29.5 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's divide the shape into 3 parts to make it easy for us to find the area.
- a wide triangle
- a triangle
- a shorter rectangle
For the wider rectangle, the area is;
A1 = 8 × 2 = 16 in²
For the triangle, the area is;
A2 = ½(7 - 2) × 3
A2 = 7.5 in²
For the shorter rectangle, the area is;
A3 = 3 × 2
A3 = 6 in²
Total area = A1 + A2 + A3 = 16 + 7.5 + 6 = 29.5 square inches
5 * 7 = 9y
35 = 9y

y = 3.9
(4x+y)+5
20x+5y
20x+5y+0
third term is zero
We can find the slope of this line by using the slope formula:

We'll use the points (-6, 0) and (0, -3)
(-3 - 0) / (0 + 6) = -3/6 = -0.5
The slope of the line is A, -1/2
