(4,5), (2,9)
we need to find the slope using the slope formula : (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
now we label ur points..
(4,5)...x1 = 4 and y1 = 5
(2,9)...x2 = 2 and y2 = 9
now we sub into the slope formula and find the slope
slope = (9 - 5) / (2 - 4) = 4/-2 = -2....so ur slope is -2

A parallel line will have the same slope. So ur parallel line also has a slope of -2.

A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. To find the negative reciprocal, flip the original slope and change the sign. So our original slope is -2 or -2/1.......flip the slope making it -1/2.....change the sign making it 1/2. Therefore, ur perpendicular line will have a slope of 1/2.

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

1 .4x2-9= 2x+3,2x-3

2 .16x2-1=4x-1,4x+1

3 .16x2-4=4(2x+1)(2x-1)

4 .4x2-1=(2x+1)(2x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

16x² − 1  = (4x − 1)(4x + 1) ;  16x² − 4  = 4(2x + 1)(2x − 1); 4x² − 1  = (2x + 1)(2x − 1) ;

4x² − 9 = (2x + 3)(2x − 3)

16x² − 1  is the difference of squares.  This is because 16x² is a perfect square, as is 1.  To find the factors of the difference of squares, take the square root of each square; one factor will be the sum of these and the other will be the difference.

The square root of 16x² is 4x and the square root of 1 is 1; this gives us (4x-1)(4x+1).

16x² − 4 is also the difference of squares.  The difference of 16x² is 4x and the square root of 4 is 2; this gives us (4x-2)(4x+2).  However, we can also factor a 2 out of each of these binomials; this gives us

2(2x-1)(2)(2x+1) = 2(2)(2x-1)(2x+1) = 4(2x-1)(2x+1)

4x² − 1  is also the difference of squares.  The square root of 4x² is 2x and the square root of 1 is 1; this gives us (2x-1)(2x+1).

4x² − 9 is also the difference of squares.  The square root of 4x² is 2x and the square root of 9 is 3; this gives us (2x-3)(2x+3).

Find three consecutive integers such that the sum of the largest and 5 times the smallest is -244. URGENT
Bad White [126]

Answer:

-39+5(-41)=244

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider 3 consecutive integers: (smallest) x, x+1 and x+2 (largest)

Five times the smallest means 5x

Sum of the largest and five times the smallest means x+2+5x

This sum is -244 means x+2+5x=-244

Solve this equation

x+2+5x=-244

6x+2=-244

6x=-244-2

6x=-246

x=-41

So, smallest number is -41, second is -40 and largest is -39

= -39+5(-41)=244

Hope this helps, have a nice day/night! :D
