Answer:

The desired equation is y = (-8/3)x + 26/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Moving from (1,6) to (4, -2) involves an increase of 3 in x and a decrease of 8 in y.  Thus, the slope of the line thru these two points is m = rise / run = -8/3.

Using the slope-intercept form of the eq'n of a straight line  and inserting the data given (slope = m = -8/3, x = 4,  y = -2), we get:

y = mx + b => -2 = (-8/3)(4) + b, or  -2 = -32/3 + b

Multiply all terms by 3 to clear out the fraction:

-6 = -32 + 3b.

Then 26 = 3b, and b = 26/3.

The desired equation is y = (-8/3)x + 26/3.

We know the area of the middle rectangle is 48 (length * width). removing that rectangle leaves us with two semicircles. you can combine those semicircles to be the equivalent of one circle. the area for a circle is r^2 * pi. we know the diameter is 4 because that is where we cut the semicircles. radius is half the diameter, so r is 2. 2^2 is 4, 4* pi is 12.56. add 12.56 (area of semicircles) with 48 (area of rectangle) and we get 60.56

Someone help me please☹️

Answer:

my best advice: look at the y-intercepts!

Step-by-step explanation:

when the equations are set out like this, the last number (in this case "+4" and "-2"), represents where they cross the y axis. this gives you a great place to start.

if you plot (0, 4) for the first equation, you can then move right one square and down one square to get the next point in the equation.

the next one starts with (0, -2) and goes right one square and up two
