PLEASE ANSWER!! Write the equation of a line that passes through the points (-2,-9) and (2,-9).

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation in the point slope form is

and reducing the equation (slope-intercept form)

Step-by-step explanation:

first we calculate the slope of the line with the formula:

where  is a point where the line passes, and  is another point where the line passes.

Since we have the following points:

(8, -2)

(5,5)

we conclude that

now we substitute this values to find the slope:

to find the equation now that we know the slope we use the point-slope equation:

and we subtitute the slope and the values of  and :

we reduce this equation:

the equation in the point slope form is

and reducing the equation (slope-intercept form)

area of part 1:

a1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2

area of part 2:

a2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2

area of part 3:

a3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2

total shaded area : a1+a2+a3=41 ft2

total area of the reactangle : a=16*8=128 ft2

total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2

after simplifying it i got: -36.25 as my answer. hope that !
