(-2,1) & (1,-1) the equation of the line is

y = (-2/3)x - 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the equation of the line through the two points (-2, 1) and (1, -1).

As we increase x from -2 to 1 (an increase of 3), y decreases from 1 to -1 (a decrease of 2).

Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = -2/3.

Using the slope-intercept formula y = mx + b, and substituting the givens m = -2/3, x = -2 and y = 1, we get:

1 = (-2/3)(-2) + b, or

1 = 4/3 + b, or 3/3 = 4/3 + b.

Then b must be 3/3 - 4/3, or -1/3, and the equation of the line is then

y = (-2/3)x - 1/3

maximum area = xy = (16)(32) = 512 ft2

to maximize the area of the garden, the side of the fence parallel to the side of the house should be 32 ft long, and the other two sides should both have length 16 ft.'

false

step-by-step explanation:

false.   two legs of the trapezoid would be congruent, but the other two would not.   were all the legs congruent, then we'd have a square; were the 2 shorter sides congruent and the 2 longer sides also congruent, we'd have a rectangle.
