Answer:
Point slope intercept form: The equation for line is given by; 
......[1] ; where m is the slope and a point 
on the line.
Let x represents the number of days and y represents the number of friends.
As per the statement: After day three, he has 25 friends; after day eight, he has 40 friends.
⇒ We have two points i.e,
(3, 25) and (8, 40)
First calculate slope(m);
Substitute the given values we get;
= 3
now, substitute the given values of m=3 and a point (3, 25) in [1] we get;
Using distributive property; 
Add 25 on both sides, we get;
Simplify:
y =3x + 16
if x = 18 days, then;
y = 3(18) + 16 = 54+16 = 70
Therefore, he will have on day 18, if he continues to add the same number of friends each day is, 70 friends.
Answer:
Lines m and n cannot be parallel
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Because angles 2 and 3 are Same Side Interior Angles, they must be supplementary.
2. To check this you add the angles together (127 + 63) and it sums to 190 degrees, not 180
3. Since they don't agree with the laws of parallel lines, the lines that the angles are on can't be parallel
4. Angles 2 and 3 reside on lines m and n so lines m and n cannot be parallel
It would be A. <span>y = −2x − 4.
Hope this helps!!

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: The expressions for the length and width of the new patio are
And the area of the new patio is 384 sq. feet.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that Stephen has a square brick patio. He wants to reduce the width by 4 feet and increase the length by 4 feet.
The length of one side of the square patio is represented by x.
We are to write the expressions for the length and width of the new patio and then to find the area of the new patio if the original patio measures 20 feet by 20 feet.
Since Stephen wants to reduce width of the patio by 4 feet, so the width of the new patio will be
The length of the patio is increased by 4 feet, so the length of the new patio will be
Now, if the original patio measures 20 feet by 20 feet, then we must have
and
Therefore, the area of the new patio is given by
Thus, the expressions for the length and width of the new patio are
And the area of the new patio is 384 sq. feet.
