Hi,
We know that:
a² -- b² = (a -- b)(a + b).
With a = x, and b = 4, we have:
x² -- 16 = x² -- 4² = (x -- 4)(x + 4).
As simple as that. Have you understood ?

Answer:
The third one is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y -15 = -3(x +2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope will be ...
m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)
m = (-18 -15)/(9 -(-2)) = -33/11 = -3
Point-slope form is ...
y -y1 = m(x -x1) . . . . . line with slope m through point (x1, y1)
Using the first point, the equation is ...
y -15 = -3(x +2)
The answer would be y=(x+4)^2-37
