Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The slope intercept line is written as y = mx + b in it's general form.

You can get the slope, m, immediately because it is given as -2

So far what you have is y = -2x + b

y intercept

To get the y intercept, use the point (-3 , 4)

x = - 3

y = 4

4 = -2*(-3) + b

4 = 6 + b                 Subtract 6 from both sides

4 - 6 = 6-6 + b

b = - 2

Line

y = -2x - 2

(a,8)

y = -2a - 2

8 = -2a - 2              Add 2 to both sides

8 +2 = -2a -2+2     Combine

10 = - 2a                 Divide by - 2

10/-2 = a

a = -5

(5,b)

y = -2x - 2

x = 5

y = b

b = -2*5 - 2

b = -10 - 2

b = - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

since the square is divided into eight equal parts

and one shaded part is =25cm^2

multiply the area of the shaded part by the number of equal parts

= 25cm^2 ×8

= 200cm^2

On the number line 0.2 would be located. Choose a answer to make a true statement.
Mariulka [41]
Um, there are no choices, so I'll just tell you were it'd be located

Since 0.2 isn't yet 1, but its value is more than 0, it would be located in the middle of 1 and 0.
