Answer:
b = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Using this formula y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) we can figure out the y-intercept (<em>and slope!</em>)<em> </em>
Plugging the numbers in, we get y - 9 = -1/4(x - 8)
We can then simplify that into y = -1/4x + 11
a. 11
5 left, (5,_) and 12 up. (5,12)
13 to the second power is 169.
Hope this helps!
