Step 1: Find the slope:
This gives you , but we need to find b.
To find b, substitute in one (x,y) pair and it doesn't matter which one. I'll go with (4,-2):
Now take that b-value and plug in into the slope-intercept form:
It's always a good idea to toss in the other x-value from the other point, to make sure it checks out.
Complete Question: Which of the following is an example of the difference of two squares?
A x² − 9
B x³ − 9
C (x + 9)²
D (x − 9)²
Answer:
A. .
Step-by-step explanation:
An easy way to spot an expression that is a difference of two squares is to note that the first term and the second term in the expression are both perfect squares. Both terms usually have the negative sign between them.
Thus, difference of two squares takes the following form: .
a² and b² are perfect squares. Expanding will give us
.
Therefore, an example of the difference of two squares, from the given options, is .
can be factorised as
.
