Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Write out the equation y = 0.5x + 8.  Now focus on the point (-10, a).  In the given equation, let y = a and x = -10:  a = 0.5(-10) + 8, so that a = 3.

Next, focus on the point (-20, b).  Find b:  In y = -0.5x + 8, replace x with -20 and y with b:  b = 0.5(-20) + 8, or b = -10 + 8, or b = -2
