Answer: What is the difference between a slope and an intercept? ... the equation of a straight line. the slope is the number "m" that is multiplied on the x, and "b" is the y-intercept
Step-by-step explanation:
(when the equation is written as "y = mx + b"),
(that is, the point where the line crosses the vertical y-axis)

Answer:
Total Area = 26.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
The hardest triangle to see is the top one. So we'll start with it.
It has a vertical leg of 3.5 and a horizontal one of 2 + 2 + 5 = 9
Top Triangle Area
Area = 1/2 base * height
Area = 1/2 * 9 * 3.5
Area = 15.75
Triangle on the lower left
Area = 1/2 * 2 * 2
Area = 2
Square on lower middle
Area = 2*2
Area = 4
Triangle on lower right area
Area = 1/2 * 2 * 5
Area = 5
Total Area
Total Area = 5 + 4 + 2 + 15.75
Total Area = 26.75
Applying the segment addition postulate:
x = 2.75
AB = 6x = 6(2.75) = 16.5 units
BC = 8x + 1/4 = 8(2.75) + 1/4 = 22.25 units.
<h3>What is the Segment Addition Postulate?</h3>
Based on the segment addition postulate, since B lies between points A and C on a line segment, then:
AB + BC = AC
AC = 38 3/4
AB = 6x
BC = 8x + 1/4
Substitute
6x + 8x + 1/4 = 38 3/4 [segment addition postulate]
14x + 1/4 = 155/4
14x = 155/4 - 1/4
14x = (155 - 1)/4
14x = 154/4
14x × 4 = 154
56x = 154
x = 154/56
x = 2.75
AB = 6x = 6(2.75) = 16.5 units
BC = 8x + 1/4 = 8(2.75) + 1/4 = 22.25 units.
