8 0

Drawing a diagonal means to connect a vertex with another non-adjacent vertex.

So, for each vertex, we have 8-3=5 possible diagonals. This leads to a total of 8*5=40 diagonals.

We have to divide this number by 2 though, because in this way we're counting each diagonal twice (connecting points AB or BA gives the same diagonal).

So, an 8 sided shape has 20 diagonals.

Which equation can pair with x-y=-2 to create a consistent and dependent system?

MrRissso [65]

See the explanation

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

A system that has one or infinitely many solutions is called <em>consistent. </em>If an equation in a system tells us no new information then the equations of the system are <em>dependent. </em>In other words, to find an equation that creates a consistent and dependent system with the given equation we have to get the same line:

The given line is:

$x-y=-2$
