So first, we multiply out the brackets. 
-15x - 18 + 2 = 17 + 16x -1
Then, bring all the terms onto one side so you can solve.
-15x-18+2-17-16x+1=0
Then, we simplify this.
-31x-32=0
Then, isolate x
-31x=32
x=32/-31 or -1.03 (nearest hundredth )
        
             
        
        
        
Gradient is the difference between the y-axis and the x-axis 
Gradient = y2-y1/x2-x1 
Choose any two point making a triangle 
Line B (0,8) (4,0) 
This makes a triangle please go look at the graph once again! The the triangle should not have half squares but full! 
Line A (5,14)(2,2)
Now plug in the variable 
The difference between the Y and X
Line B 0-8/4-0 
Line B gradient =-2 
Line A 2-14/2-5
Line A gradient = +4 
Finalized answer 
Line B gradient = -2 
Line A gradient = +4
        
             
        
        
        
Since you requested I answer this, I will do my best, but I'm not sure I can explain it well. 
45° clockwise from due east is just 45° from the east. Moving clockwise, which is the direction the hands of a clock move, you're going to the south, and since it's by 45°, you're halfway between east and south, so you're southeast.
        
             
        
        
        
A is your answer hope that helps
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
-1(x-2)(x-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
first we factor the negative:
-1 (x^2 - 5x +6 )
the next step, (if possible) is to guess 2 numbers that multiplied are 6
and added are -5
in this case is easy to see that those numbers are -2 and -3
The solution then is:
-1(x-2)(x-3)
If guessing the 2 numbers doesn't work, you need to complete the square
