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

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

The expression (-4x + 9)^2 cannot be equal to (-4x)^2 + 9^2 because it is actually equal to the product of two factors (3 + 2sqrt x) (3- 2 sqrt x). One cannot use obviously distributive property. Hence the answer to this problem should be C. as she did not understand both perfect square trinomial and did not determine the product
