Answer:
A. y + 1 = -2(x-2)
Step-by-step explanation:
point-slope equation is : y - y1 = m (x -x1)
remember m= slope value
the given point is (2, -1) therefore we can substitute the values in:
y + 1 = m(x -2)
now to make sure our answer is complete we will solve for the slope:
looking back at the graph, the y-intercept value is 3, therefore we have a point of (0,3) and (2, -1)
with any two points you can determine a slope.
y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
therefore :
-1 -3 / 2 - 0
-4 / 2 = -2
therefore our m value is -2
this makes the completed point-slope equation:
y + 1 = -2 (x - 2) or A
of the lawn in two equal parts, we need to split the pieces that were mowed into two equal groups. We know that in total they mowed 8 out of the total 9 pieces of lawn, so two equal groups that make 8 would be of size 4, since 
. Then they each mowed 
of the lawn.
