Answer:
M = -2
b = -10
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to find the slope
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (-8 -0)/(-1- -5)
= (-8-0)/(-1+5)
= -8/4
= -2
We now want to find the y intercept
y = mx+b is the slope intercept form of the equation
y = -2x+b
Using the point (-5,0)
0 = -2(-5) +b
0 = 10+b
Subtract 10 from each side
-10 = 10-10+b
-10 =b
The y intercept is -10
y= -2x-10
The second one
Hope this helps :D
Answer:
Area of the resulting rectangle = 23.375 inch²
Step-by-step explanation:
After 1 fold width or length reduces to half.
Area = Length x width
So after 1 fold area will reduce to half.
So we have

Initial area = 8.5 x 11 = 93.5 inch²
Here the paper were folded completely in half, length is reduced to half and width reduced to half, that is
Number of folds = 2

Area after 2 folds = 23.375 inch²
Area of the resulting rectangle = 23.375 inch²
