A straight line passing through the point (-2,1) and having a gradient of -3 yields the equation y = -3x - 5.
We know that a straight line is an infinitely long line with no curves on it. A straight line's equation is
y = mx + c...(1), where m is the gradient of the straight line and c is a constant.
Given that the gradient of the given straight line = m = -3.
Putting this value in (1), we get
y = -3x + c ...(2)
Again, the given straight line passes through the point (-2,1). So, we can put x = -2 and y = 1 to get the value of the constant c.
So, 1 = (-3)(-2) + c
i.e. 6 + c = 1
i.e. c = 1 - 6 = -5
(2) can be written as
y = -3x - 5
Therefore the equation of the given straight line is
y = -3x - 5

This one is a bit trickier but I do believe the answer is B. About 30 ft2 to 40ft2. Let me know if you need any more help!!!
Answer:
We can make 3 whole groups of 2.
Hope that helps. x
Step-by-step explanation:
2, 4, 6, 8
The closest number near to 7 is 6 so we do 6 divided by 2 which equals 3.
