y = a(x + 16)(x + 2)

72 = a(-18 + 16)(-18 + 2)

72 = a(-2)(-16)

72 = a(32)

$\frac{72}{32} = a$

$\frac{9}{4} = a$

Answer: y = $\frac{9}{4}$ (x + 16)(x + 2)

Neko [114]

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The point slope form of the equation is expressed as
y - 7/2 = 1/2(x - 4)
Comparing with the point slope form of an equation which is expressed as
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
m represents slope
Therefore
m = 1/2
y1 = 7/2
x1 = 4
The slope intercept form of the equation of a straight line is expressed as
y = mx + c
Where c represents the intercept
Substituting y = 7/2, m = 1/2 and x = 4 into y = mx + c, it becomes
7/2 = 1/2 × 4 + c
7/2 = 2 + c
c = 2 - 7/2 = (4 - 7)/2 = - 3/2
Therefore, the y intercept is - 3/2

How would I simplify the equation 5u^6x^2+20wx/15x^4

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

The simplified form is $5u^6x^2+\frac{4w x^{-3}}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify the expression given to use, we need to reduce the given expression in its simplest form. There should not be any possibility for the further cancelling out of the division terms, if any.

Now the expression that is given to us is:

$5u^6x^2+\frac{20wx}{15x^4}\\$

Here we will simplify it, as follows:

$5u^6x^2+\frac{20wx}{15x^4}\\=5u^6x^2+\frac{4w}{3x^3}\\=5u^6x^2+\frac{4w x^{-3}}{3}$

So this is the required simplified form.
