Answer:
x^2 -x -2 = (x -2)(x +1)
Step-by-step explanation:
To factor x^2 -x -2, you look for factors of -2 that have a sum of -1:
-2 = (-1)(2) = (1)(-2) . . . . . the latter pair has a sum of -1
Then these are the constants in the binomial factors:
x^2 -x -2 = (x +1)(x -2)

<em>Comment on the question</em>
The fact that x^2 +3x -4 is modeled with algebra tiles seems to be irrelevant to the question that is actually asked.

The answer is x=34 degrees.
Answer:
A) Slope = -2 and y-int = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The easiest way to get the slope and y-intercept from an equation is to put it in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
So, let's subtract 8x from both sides, leaving 4y on the left side:
8x + 4y = 4 -> 4y = -8x + 4
Now, let's divide both sides by 4, so that we can have just y on the left side:
y = -2x + 1
-2 is the slope, and 1 is the y-intercept.
