In short yes. But to know for sure you can combine any term no matter the sign as long as they have the same type of variable attached to them for example

x {}^{2} + x
this cannot be combined because one is squared the other isn't
x + - x
you can combine these because they're the same type of variable this just becomes 1
x + 3 + - 5

we cant combine x into these because it's not just a constant number but we can combine 3 and negative 5 to get
x - 2

hope this helps!

The point-slope form of the equation of a line that passes through points (8, 4) and (0, 2) is y - 4 = (x – 8). What
AfilCa [17]

Answer: y = x/4 + 2

Y equals one fourth x plus two.

Step-by-step explanation:

There seems to be a typo on answer choice c.

Slope intercept form is y= mx + b

m is the slope. b is the y-intercept.

The y-intercept is given here in the coordinate (0,2) It is +2

Slope is rise/run.

Rise: Difference in given y-values is 4-2 = 2.

Run: Difference in x-values is 8-0=8.

So the slope is 2/8 = 1/4

The equation is y = 1/4 x + 2
