Go up on the graph (y axis) and you need to go down 3 on the y axis and go to the right one and repeat. let me know if you want me to draw it out!
F(-3.29) = (-3.29) + 2.58
f(-3.29) = -0.71
The diamond shape is formed when you graph these coordinates.
The Associative Property allows you to "regroup" addition and multiplication problems. You can group this problem in two other ways,
(8 + 4) + 3 and (8 + 3) + 4.
