$cox^4x-sin^4x=2cos^2x-1\\\\
(cosx^2-sin^2x)(cosx^2x+sin^2x)=2cos^2x-1\\\\
cosx^2-sin^2x*1=2cos^2x-1\ \ \ | subtract\ 2cos^2x\\\\
-cosx^2-sin^2x=-1\ \ \ | multiply\ by\ -1\\\\
cosx^2+sin^2x=1\\\\
1=1$

Graph a line that contains the point (-5,-3) and has a slope of -2

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

-->

Step-by-step explanation:

Graph (-5,-3) and use the slope, -2, to find another point. -2 can also be written as $-\frac{2}{1}$

$\frac{rise}{run} =\frac{-2}{1}$ and $\frac{rise}{run} =\frac{2}{-1}$ **

Use both. This works because either way, they will lie on the same line with the same slope. So, starting at (-5,-3), go down two points (-)* and to the left 1 (+)*, then, starting at (-5,-3) again, go up two points (+)* then to the right 1 point (-)*.

* If the number is negative, you either go down or to the right. If the number is positive, you go up and to the left.

**Rise over run refers to the change in the y-axis and the change in the x-axis: $\frac{rise}{run} =\frac{y-axis}{x-axis}$ . Only one number is negative because, if both were negative, that would make a positive number, but the slope is -2, not 2.
