Answer:

y = -\frac14x + 8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

A linear function is written in the form of y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Each of these expressions can be converted to coordinate form, (-2,9) and (6,7).

<h2>Slope</h2>

Slope can be calculated by the difference in the x-values divided by the difference in the y-values.

Solve

  • \frac{9 - 6}{-2 - 6}
  • \frac{2}{-8}
  • -\frac14

The slope is -1/4.

<h2 /><h2>Y-intercept</h2>

The y-intercept is found by plugging in the x and y values of a coordinate and the slope and then solving for b.

Solve

  • y = mx + b
  • 9 = -\frac14(-2) + b
  • 9 = 0.5 + b
  • 8.5 = b

<h2>Equation</h2>

We can find the equation by simply plugging in all the values that we found.

Equation: y = -\frac14x + 8.5

Question 4(Multiple Choice Worth 1 points) (07.04 LC) Factor completely 49x2 − 9. (7x + 3)(7x − 3) (7x + 3)(x − 3) (7x − 3)(7x −
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

We take a look at this expression: 49x^2-9 and notice that both terms are square numbers. 49x^2=(7x)^2 and 9=3^2.

There is a specific formula that I highly recommend you memorize involving differences of squares. It states that given the difference of squares a^2-b^2, it can always be factored into (a+b)(a-b).

Here, we can apply that. In this case, a = 7x and b = 3. So:

49x^2-9=(7x)^2-3^2=(7x+3)(7x-3)

Thus, the answer is A.

Hope this helps!
