B. The total because your adding. By adding something you will get the total!
8x-5y because 7x plus x is 8x and -6y+y is 5y
Initial:

Changed to:

As you can see the change is: from -1 to +6.
In a equation as follow:

The k is a transformation that moves up or down the graph of the function. If k is changed to a less value the graph moves down, If k is changed to a greather number the graph moves up.
In this case the graph moves up
To find the number of units the graph moves find the difference betwwen values of k:

Then, the parabola y=x²-1 is moved 7 units up when it is changed to y=x²+6

Answer:</h3>
A: 6 ft²
B: 3 ft² is the area of each of the two congruent triangles
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
Part A. As with a rectangle, the area of a parallelogram is the product of base length and height.
Area = (8 ft)·(3/4 ft) = 6 ft²
___
Part B. If you cut the area into two halves, each half will have half the area of the original. (That should not be a surprise.)
triangle area = (6 ft²)/2 = 3 ft²
If the triangles are created by a diagonal across the original figure, each will have a base length and height that is the same as that of the original figure. The area of a triangle is half the product of base and height, so each triangle will have area ...
triangle area = (1/2)bh = (1/2)(8 ft)(3/4 ft) = 3 ft²
