I think it's higher because as far as the integer gets, the higher its absolute value gets. So, put higher in the blank.
X^2 - 8x = -10 .....u would add 16 to both sides
x^2 - 8x + 16 = -10 + 16
take half of ur x term, ur x term is -8, half of it is -4, then u square it...-4^2 = 16, and that is what u add to both sides
Since slope is y=mx+b and m is -3 you would plug in the (5,1) which 5 is x and 1 is y. you would plug them into the y=mx+b and then u would get 1= -3(5) +b and then it would go into 1= -15 +b then -15 would move to the other side and b=16
Hoped this helped! :)
