<h3>Answer: Choice C. (x+1)(x-5)</h3>

We need to find two numbers that

Multiply to -5 (last term)
Add to -4 (middle coefficient)

Through trial and error, those two numbers are 1 and -5

1 times -5 = -5
1 plus -5 = -4

So this means x^2-4x-5 factors to (x+1)(x-5)

This is the same as (x-5)(x+1) since the order of multiplication doesn't matter.

What is the equation of the line in the slope intercept form

Grace [21]

Answer:

Equation of line; y = - 6x

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see from this graph, point ( 0, 0 ) lying on this graph intersects the y - axis such that it forms a y - intercept of 0;

At the same time we can note that the change in y / change in x, in other words the slope, differs by a rise of 6 / run of - 1, 6 / - 1 being a slope of - 6;

If this equation is in slope - intercept form ⇒

y = a * x + b, where a ⇒ slope, and b ⇒ y - intercept,

Equation of line; y = - 6x
