A prime number is a number greater than one and can only be divided by 1 and itself. The result is always a whole number, i.e. no fractions, decimals, remainders. 

<span>Example: </span>
<span>2 can only be divided by 1 and itself </span>
<span>3 can only be divided by 1 and itself. </span>

<span>4 however, can be divided by 1 or 2 or itself </span>

<span>1 is not a prime number since it is not greater than one.</span>

Prime numbers are positive integers that cannot be factored. Meaning it cannot be divided by any other number but 1 and itself.

For example:
2 is a prime number. It can only be divided by 1 and 2.
4 is not a prime number. Because it can be divided by 1, 2, and 4.

Take note: prime numbers are POSITIVE integers only.

Additional information about prime numbers:
* The only even prime number is 2. The rest even number are not prime numbers because it can be divided by 2.
* zero and 1 are not considered prime numbers
* numbers that are not prime numbers are called composite numbers.

Find the slope and the equation for the line passing through the points: (-3,0) and (-1,2)
dusya [7]

Answer:

  • slope: 1
  • equation: y = x +3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line between two points can be found using the slope formula:

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (2 -0)/(-1 -(-3)) = 2/2

  m = 1 . . . . . the slope of the line is 1

__

The value of the y-intercept can be found by solving the slope-intercept equation for b.

  y = mx +b

  b = y -mx

  b = (0) -(1)(-3) = 3 . . . . . using point (x, y) = (-3, 0)

The equation of the line with slope 1 and y-intercept 3 can be written as ...

  y = x +3
