If x - 4 ≥ 0, then |x - 4| = x - 4, so
G(x) = F(x) ⇒ 3x + 2 = (x - 4) + 2
⇒ 3x + 2 = x - 2
⇒ 2x = -4
⇒ x = -2
Otherwise, if x - 4 < 0, then |x - 4| = -(x - 4), so
G(x) = F(x) ⇒ 3x + 2 = -(x - 4) + 2
⇒ 3x + 2 = -x + 6
⇒ 4x = 4
⇒ x = 1
However,
• when x = -2, we have
G(-2) = 3(-2) + 2 = -4
F(-2) = |-2 - 4| + 2 = 8
• when x = 1, we have
G(1) = 3(1) + 2 = 5
F(1) = |1 - 4| + 2 = 5
so only x = 1 is a solution to G(x) = F(x).
This is the concept of algebra, given that ab^4=12 and a^5b^5=7776, the value if a will be found as follows:
ab^4=12
a=12/b^4
also;
a^5=7776/b^5
thus;
a=(7776/b^5)^(1/5)
a=6/b
thus the value of a will be:
6/b=12/b^4
dividing both sides by b we get:
6=12/b^3
multiplying both sides by b^3 we get
6b^3=12
b^3=2
hence;
b=2^(1/3)

Answer:
- m = (2-(-2))/(2-(-2)) = 4/4 = 1
- y +2 = 1(x +2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The point-slope form of the equation for a line with slope m through point (x1, y1) is ...
y -y1 = m(x -x1)
To find the slope of the line, find the ratio of the difference in y-values of the points to the difference in corresponding x-values. Here, the slope is ...
m = (2 -(-2))/(2 -(-2)) = 4/4 = 1 . . . work to compute slope
The problem statement tells you x1 = -2, y1 = -2. Putting the numbers in to the point-slope form gives ...
y -(-2) = 1(x -(-2))
y + 2 = x + 2 . . . equation form with m, (x1, y1) filled in

The answer at the top leaves the slope shown as 1. We don't know how much simplification you are expected to do. Obviously, this <em>could</em> be simplified to y=x, but then the use of (-2, -2) for the point would not be obvious.
