B) -8 + (-12)
Because you just have to use the distributive property and distribute -1 to (8+12)

Write an equation in slope-intercept form then Graph. <br> 3x-6y=-12

algol [13]

<h3><u>y = 1/2x + 2 is the given equation in slope-intercept form.</u></h3>

3x - 6y = -12

Currently, this is in standard form.

In order to convert this to slope-intercept form, we need to isolate y.

Add 6y to both sides.

3x = -12 + 6y

Add 12 to both sides.

3x + 12 = 6y

Divide both sides by 6.

On a coordinate plane, a shape is plotted with vertices of (3, 1), (0, 4), (3, 7), and (6, 4). what is the area of the shape if

QveST [7]

Let
<span>A (3, 1)
B (0, 4)
C(3, 7)
D (6, 4)

step 1
find the distance AB
d=</span>√[(y2-y1)²+(x2-x1)²]------> dAB=√[(4-1)²+(0-3)²]-----> dAB=√18 cm

step 2
find the distance CD
d=√[(y2-y1)²+(x2-x1)²]------> dCD=√[(4-7)²+(6-3)²]-----> dCD=√18 cm

step 3
find the distance AD
d=√[(y2-y1)²+(x2-x1)²]------> dAD=√[(4-1)²+(6-3)²]-----> dAD=√18 cm

step 4
find the distance BC
d=√[(y2-y1)²+(x2-x1)²]------> dBC=√[(7-4)²+(3-0)²]-----> dBC=√18 cm

step 5
find slope AB and CD
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
mAB=-1
mCD=-1
AB and CD are parallel and AB=CD

step 6
find slope AD and BC
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
mAD=1
mBC=1
AD and BC are parallel and AD=BC
and
AB and AD are perpendicular
BC and CD are perpendicular

therefore
the shape is a square wit length side √18 cm

area of a square=b²
b is the length side of a square
area of a square=(√18)²------> 18 cm²

the answer is
18 cm²

see the attached figure
