Answer: 3

Equilateral triangles, squares and regular hexagons are the only regular polygons that tessellate.

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics, a tessellation is the covering of the plane by closed geometric shapes, called tiles, without gaps or overlaps. Regular polygons have congruent straight sides. When we slide or rotate a regular polygon, the side of the original figure and the side of its translation will match.

Equilateral triangles, squares and regular hexagons are the only regular polygons that tessellate. Therefore, there are only three regular tessellations.

marysya [2.9K]

y=−3x+9 slope of this equation is -3 and y-intercept is 9

Plot the y -intercept first which is 9 and mark the points using the slope which is -3. Join the points. So blue line in the graph is y = -3x+9

y=−x−5 slope of this equation is -1 and y intercept is -5

Plot the y -intercept first which is -5 and mark the points using the slope which is -1 . Join the points. So pink line in the graph is y = -x-5

The intersection point of these two lines gives you the solution.
