Use PEMDAS
"Evaluate the expression" just means solve until you can't simplify anymore. You must solve it in a certain order according to PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiply, Divide, Add, Subtract.
What does the beginning of the expression look like? It is
.
According to PEMDAS, you must solve what is in the parentheses *first*. But, since there is only a number (-8), there is nothing to solve for and you can move on to exponents.
The squared symbol, the little 2, means you have to square what is *inside* the parentheses. = 64, because -8 times itself is 64.
Next comes multiplication. Remember, we are not working from left to right. We must multiply the values on the far right before we do any adding, because multiplication comes *before* addition.
(64) + (8 times -8)
(64) + (-64)
Finally, we can add. In this case, because we are adding a negative number, we are really subtracting. 64 + -64 equals 0.

Pretend these are coordinates that you can use to find the slope of the line.
(10, 40) and (15, 60). Fit these into the slope formula to find the slope of the line you are looking for:
and the slope is 4. Now use one of the points and the slope of 4 to solve for b, the y-intercept:
40 = 4(10) + b so b = 0. The equation of the line then is y = 4x + 0 or just
y = 4x
