ADE is inside ABCD. Point E is halfway between points B and C on the rectangle. Side AB is 8 cm and side AD is 7 cm.

Part A: What is the area of ADE?Part B: What is the ratio of the area of ABE to the area of ADE?Part C: What is the ratio of the area of DCE to the area of ABCD?

Which equation is represented by the graph?

A.2y + x = 10B. y - 2x = -5C. -2y = 10x – 4D.2y = - 4x - 10

The three different linear functions below are represented in three different ways, as shown.

2y + 3 = 3x X f(x)
