Y=x^2-8 is linear or nonlinear

Nonlinear.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We notice that if the line is linear, x will NOT go over a degree of 1.

x² is a quadratic function, and its slope is not proportional like a linear line.

ian gonna lie that is way to much

pentagon

step-by-step explanation:

the coordinates   a(5, -2), b(3,-1),c(-4,-4) d(-3,8) and e(-1,4) forms the vertices of the polygon when they are connected in order.

in order to classify that which polygon is it with the given coordinates, first count the number of vertices and then count the number of sides it can make with these vertices.

since, the given coordinates have five vertices, therefore, it will make five sides. moreover, pentagon is regular in nature therefore it will be convex.

now, a polygon with five sides is known as pentagon, therefore, the given polygon is the pentagon.
