Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line with a slope of -3/4 containing (8,2)

Y= -3/4x + b
2 = -3/4(8) + b
2 = -6 + b
add 6 to both sides and you get

8 = b

so Y=-3/4+8

The answer is biodiversity resulting from new ancestors.

First step is to get rid of the square root. remember that a square root is the same as raising to the (1/2) power. see below: multiply exponents per exponent rules to get: remember you subtract exponents from the denominator and add exponents in the numerator so: simplify further: so a is the correct choice. if you don't understand this google exponent rules and it will you understand. look at the image results.
