The value of "b" is the y-intercept.
In order to figure out slope-intercept form you need 1 coordinate and the slope.
1) Find the slope, using the 2-point slope formula: "m= y2-y1 / x2-x1".
ex. m= -5 - 3 / -4 - -6 (simplify)---> m= -4
2) Fill in the blanks for point-slope formula: "y - y1 = m (x - x1)"
(choose one coordinate, it doesn't matter which one)
ex. y - -5 = -4 (x - -4)
3) Then use basic algebra to simplify.
X= 0 (multiplicity of 1)
X= -2 (multiplicity of 1)
X= 2 (multiplicity of 2)
Answer:
46 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a square = L * L
As you know 17 * 17 = 289
So length of one side of square equals 17
