Use Square of Sum: (a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2
b^2 + 2b * 12 + 12^2
Simplify 12^2 to 144
b^2 + 2b * 12 + 144
Simplify 2b * 12 to 24b
b^2 + 24b + 144
6.5 is suppose to be on the inside of the radical sign.
Answer:
Slope intercept form is y=mx+b
So y=-1/2x(m=slope which you go down one over 2 from your y-intercept)
y=-1/2x ( There would be no b because your b is 0, that's where it crosses the y axis)
Step-by-step explanation:
