The three terms are not like terms, so they cannot be added together.
The expression is simplified.
If you need to factor the expression, then the instructions should be factor the expression, not simplify.
It looks like a rotation of 270 degrees counter-clockwise and a dilation (enlargement) of 2 times.
Hope this helps answer your question!
We start with the equation y-y1 =m (x-x1) because we have m the slope = 1/4 and a point on the line with the coordinates (x1=-20, y1=-6) so,
y+6=1/4 ( x+20);
y=(1/4)x + 20/4 -6;
y= (1/4)x -1 and this is the equation in slope intercept form y=mx +b where the lope m= 1/4 and b= -1 the y-intercept
Answer <span>y= (1/4)x -1 </span>
Volume = 1/3a^2h
v= 1/3 x 8.2^2 x 5.3
v=118.79066666667 in^3
