Answer:
b =0
Step-by-step explanation:
The only value where |b| = -b is when b=0
|0| = -0
0 = 0
Absolute value means non- negative
non-negative = negative
This is only true when we equal zero
1. find our slope: y2 - y1/ x2- x 1
-9 + 4= -5
2 - 2 = 0
m = 0
2. now we need to use our point-slope form to find our y intercept
point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y + 4 = 0(x - 2)
distribute:
y + 4 = 0x
3. get y by itself
y + 4 - 4 = y
0x - 4 = 0x - 4
4. write in slope-intercept form:
y = 0x - 4
OR
y = -4
5/8 would be the simplest form for 10/16 .
In this case the areas would be exactly the same. To prove this, think of a can of stain as 4 inches wide by 6 inches tall/long. If the can of paint is 8 inches wide and 3 inches tall/ long, both areas would be 24 inches squared. By cutting one dimension in half and doubling the other dimension, you do not change the overall area.
