What are the factors of the expression (y-2)(x+3)?
2 answers:
(y-2) (x + 3) are factors of the xy + 3y-2x-6 form
<h3>Further explanation </h3>Factoring is a statement of a form of addition into a multiplication
There are several factoring of the following forms:
- 1. the forms ax + ay + az and ax + bx -cx
factoring:
ax + ay + az = a (x + y + z + ...)
ax + bx -cx = x (a + b-c)
- 2. difference of two squares x²-y²
factoring:
x²-y² = (x-y) (x + y)
- 3. the form x² + 2xy + y² and x²-2xy + y²
factoring:
x² + 2xy + y² = (x + y) (x + y) = (x + y)²
x²-2xy + y² = (x-y) (x-y) = (x-y)²
- 4. form ax² + bx + c with a = 1
factoring:
ax² + bx + c = (x + m) (x + n) with m x n = c and m + n = b
- 5. the form ax² + bx + c with a ≠1 and a ≠0
factoring:
can be completed in 2 ways
a. distributive way
ax² + bx + c = ax² + px + qx + c with
p x q = a x c and
p + q = b
b. formula way
ax² + bx + c = 1/a (ax + m) (ax + n) with
m x n = a x c and
m + n = b
So from an addition form, for example:
ax + ay = a (x + y), then a and (x + y) are factors of the form ax + ay
So (y-2) (x + 3) are factors of the form xy + 3y-2x-6

Answer:
The correct option is C).
Figure show the line with slope of -1/2 and a y-intercept of 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of line is given by y=mx+c.
Where m is slope and c is y-intercept.
Given that line has slope
m= and c=3
Thus equation of line will be
y=mx+c.
y=
To plot the line we need at least two points
Take x=0
y=
y=
y=3
The required point is A(0,4)
Take x=2
y=
y=2
The required point is B(2,2)
Using this points to graph the given equation of line
Figure show the line with a slope of -1/2 and a y-intercept of 3
The correct option is C).
