Slope of the line passing through two points <span><span>P=<span>(<span><span>x1</span>,<span>y1</span></span>) </span></span></span>and <span><span>Q=<span>(<span><span>x2</span>,<span>y2</span></span>)</span></span></span> is given by <span><span>m=<span><span><span>y2</span>−<span>y1/</span></span><span><span>x2</span>−<span>x1</span></span></span></span></span>.
We have that <span><span><span>x1</span>=−8</span></span>, <span><span><span>y1</span>=−3</span></span>, <span><span><span>x2</span>=−3</span></span>, <span><span><span>y2</span>=4</span></span>.
Plug given values into formula for slope: <span><span>m=<span><span><span>(4)</span>−<span>(<span>−3</span>)/</span></span><span><span>(<span>−3</span>)</span>−<span>(<span>−8</span>)</span></span></span>=<span>7/5</span></span></span>.
Now y-intercept is <span><span>b=<span>y1</span>−m⋅<span>x1</span></span></span> .
<span><span>b=−3−<span>(<span>7/5</span>)</span>⋅<span>(<span>−8</span>)</span>=<span>41/5.</span></span></span>
Finally, equation of the line can be written in the form <span><span>y=mx+b</span></span>.
<span><span>y=<span>7/5</span>x+<span>41/5</span></span></span>
(f-g)(x) = x²+6x - (7-x)
(f-g)(x) = x² + 6x - 7 + x
(f-g)(x) = x² + 7x - 7
(f-g)(9) = 9² + 7*9 - 7
(f-g)(9) = 81 + 63 - 7
(f-g)(9) = 137
2 Times + 2 =4 table of a pair
Yes, we apply the distributive property to simplify this expression.
3*5 = 15
6*3 = 18
15 + 18 is the final answer.
