Since the slope is -2 we know that m=-2. Now use the standard form of y=mx+b and plug in the coordinates (-8,2). We know y=2, x=-8, and m=-2. Therefore we get 2=-2(-8)+b. Now solve for b and you get -14. Therefore, the equation is y=-2x-14.
Hope this helped!
1. You need to multiply the denominator by something that will make the content of the radical be a square—so that when you take the square root, you get something rational. Easiest and best is to multiply by √6. Of course, you must multiply the numerator by the same thing. Then simplify.

2. Identify the squares under the radical and remove them.

Answer:
-10/3 or -3.33
Step-by-step explanation:
substitute 0 for y
0 = 6x + 20
-20 = 6x + 20 - 20 subtract 20 on both sides
-20 = 6x divide by 6 on each side
-20/6 = 6x/6
x = -20/6 simplify
x = -10/3
Check the picture below.
so the rhombus has the diagonals of AC and BD, now keeping in mind that the diagonals bisect each, namely they cut each other in two equal halves, let's find the length of each.

that simply means that each triangle has a side that is half of 10√2 and another side that's half of 6√2.
namely, each triangle has a "base" of 3√2, and a "height" of 5√2, keeping in mind that all triangles are congruent, then their area is,
Answer:
A ≈ 25.1 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
the area (A) of the sector is calculated as
A = area of circle × fraction of circle
= πr² × 
= π × 6² × 
= 36π × 
= 18 × 
= 2 × 4π
= 8π
≈ 25.1 cm² ( to the nearest tenth )
