It’s A) simplify it you’ll get -42 because a negative times a positive is an negative
Answer:
15 inches
Tell me if you need me to explain
Let the function be y = ax + c.
For (-1,8), 8 = a(-1) + c → 8 = - a + c
For (5,6), 6 = a(5) + c → 6 = 5a + c
Subtract one from abother,
2 = - 6a => - 1/3 = a
Hence, 8 = - 1/3 + c → 23/3 = c
Relation is:
y = (-1/3)x + (23/3)
3y = - x + 23
3y = 23 - x
Answer:
1/-5 should be the answer
