Is this right? and do you use not use the x-intercepts?

You are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercept could be written the way you have or also it can be written as a point (-1, 0).

The y-intercept could also be written as a point (0, -2) But they are commonly written the way you have also.

So, the slope is -2. But just to be clear. That slope of -2 has nothing to do with the y-intercept of -2.

If you mark all the points on the line, to get from one point to the next point, you go down 2 and over (positive direction) 1. The down 2 in math is -2 and the over 1 is just 1. The slope is that ratio of -2/1.

Slope tells us if the line is going up or down, steep or flat, even horizontal. It was coincidence only that the y-intercept and slope were the same number.

step-by-step explanation:

m∠cdf = 43° , m∠gdf = 114°, m∠gde = 23°, m∠edh = 23° , m∠cdh = 157°

step-by-step explanation:

since, it is given that de bisects the angle gdh ⇒ de divides the angle gdh into two equal angles.

⇒ m∠gde = m∠edh

⇒ 8·x   - 1 = 6·x + 5

⇒ x = 3

so, m∠gde = 8·x - 1 = 23°

and m∠edh = 23°

now, it is given ∠cde is an straight angle so, m∠cde = 180°

⇒ m∠cdf + m∠fdg + m∠gde = 180°

⇒ 43° + m∠fdg + 23° = 180°

⇒ m∠fdg = 114°

again, m∠cde = m∠cdh + m∠edh = 180°

m∠cdh + 23° = 180°

⇒ m∠cdh = 157°
