If the dimensions are "nice" factors of the quadratic, and if y > -3, we have
.. area = (y +3)(y +5)
y+5 is greater than y +3, so we take the width to be ....
.. width = y+3
The first thing I would probably do is distribute (multiply) the -5/2 into the parenthesis:
= (-5/2)x + (-20/2)
Notice how I am not putting the x into the fraction. This is to make it easier to see the slope-intercept form.
Lets simplify the (-20/2) and then add 7 to both sides:
y - 7 = (-5/2)x - 10
y = (-5/2)x - 3
Your answer would then be:
y = (-5/2)x - 3
y = mx + b
Since it is now in the requested format.
The smallest polygon has three line segments, it is triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:
California had a population of 38.26 million in 2013
Texas had a population of 26.48 million in 2013
38.26-26.48 is closest to 10 million
