Hi there!

The general formula of A line in slope-intercept form is the following:
y = mx + n

In this formula m represents the slope of the line. Therefore, we can conclude that m = 2/5.
y =  \frac{2}{5} x + n

We also know that the line passes through the point (-3, -1) and we can therefore substitute this coordinate into the formula of the line.
x = -3 and y = -1

- 1 =  \frac{2}{5}  \times  - 3 + n

Multiply first.
- 1 =  -  1\frac{1}{5}  + n

And finally add 1 1/5 to both sides of the equation.
\frac{1}{5}  = n

We can now switch sides.
n =  \frac{1}{5}

Now we've found our value of n, which we can substitute into the formula of our line. Hence, in slope-intercept form, we find the following:
y =  \frac{2}{5}  x  +  \frac{1}{5}

Answer:

A=5

B=4

Step-by-step explanatation

so the 3ft at the front and the 8ft at the back, you do 8-3 which is 5 which will be A and on the side, it is 8ft and since the corner angle is 4ft then B will be 8-4 which is 4

Describe the procedure you<br> performed to derive the slope-intercept form of a linear equation.
defon

Answer:

1. You first have to find the slope

2. Next, you have to find the y-intercept

3. Finally, you have to put it in y = mx + b form.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of 2 points is; \frac{y_{2}- y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1}}

The y-intercept is; y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1} )

y = mx + b

m is always the slope

b is always the starting point or y-intercept
