Answer:
y-intercept = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
equation of a line: y=mx+b
two points given are (5, -6.5) and (-12, 2)
first we can easily find value of m or the slope, by using the slope formula. the value of m=-0.5.
formua to find m: 
= -0.5
to find the value of b (the y-intercept), we need to plug in a y and x value, we are given 2 ordered pairs, you can use either one and plug x-value in for x and the y-value in for y.
if i plug in (5, -6.5), my equation looks like this: -6.5=5(-0.5)+b
then you just solve for b and it turns out to be -4.
Let the constant be k.
For an inverse squared proportion the formula is y = k/x^2
Insert values of y and x into the formula.
3 = k/(-4)^2
3(-4)^2 = k
k = 3(16)
k = 48
Hope this helps. :)
The statement is false, because -2 is larger than -3.
<h3>Is the statement true?</h3>
We know that -3 is a lower bound for the real zeros of f(x).
So, if we define k as the smallest real zero of f(x), we have:
-3 < k.
Then we can take, for example, k = -2.5
That is an allowed value for the real zero.
In that case, -2 is not a lower bound, because is false that:
-2 < k = -2.5
Then if -3 is a lower bound for the real zeros of f(x), we can't assume that -2 is also a lower bound (because -2 is larger than -3).

Answer:
32
Step-by-step explanation:
Parentheses:
(18 - 14) = 4
(4 x 2) = 8
4 x 8
Multiplication:
4 x 8 = 32
<em>good luck hope this helps :)</em>
