Answer:
The factors of the polynomial are:
(x + 1) and (x - 3).
Step-by-step explanation:
I would use a small, easy slope.
Answer: a. x=4 b. x=17.5
Step-by-step explanation:
a. 5x/2+1=11
subtract 1 from both sides : 5x/2=10
multiply both sides by 2 : 5x=20
divide both sides by 4 : x=4
b. 2x/7-3=2
add 3 to both sides : 2x/7=5
multiply both sides by 7 : 2x=35
divide both sides by 2 : x=17.5
The slope is the coefficient of x when the coefficient of y is 1.
The slope is -0.5
The y-intercept is where x=0
y = 17 - 0.5 (0)
y = 17
The y-intercept is 17.
