A puzzle is 5 puzzle pieces high and 5 puzzle pieces wide. If you only laid the edges of the puzzle, how many puzzle pieces did you use?

the edges only would be 16 pieces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of it as a square. The top row is 5 pieces, bottom row is 5 pieces.

The left vertical side is 3 and the right vertical side is 3. Because the corner pieces are already there, you don't count them twice.

b is 38 degrees.

a is 52 degrees.

this is because if b is 38 and a is 14 degrees more than b than 38+14=52 and 52+38=90 degrees. hope this .

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is
