This is an EQUATION, because it has a left side, a right side, and an = sign separating the two.
An EXPRESSION does not has "sides" and no = sign.
When you have an absolute value equation like this, you drop the absolute value signs and change the sign of the value opposite of x.
For instance,
|x| = 3
Let's drop the || signs.
x = 3
This is one solution. Let's change the sign of 3 now.
x = -3
In conclusion,
x = 3, -3
JM is equal to half of JK so your equation would be set up like this; 4x+1=5x-3 and then you would combine like terms and get 4=x. You would then plug that into the equation for JM; 4(4) + 1= 17.
Hope I didn’t mess up feel free to ask questions :)
We know that coordinates are labeled (x,y)
The formula to find slope is (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)
So (2- (-7))/(-6-(-6) undefined because the denominator is zero. The line looks like a vertical line at x=-6
No, it is not a factor of P(x)=5

+ X^{2} -7 because when I used synthetic division, I got 37 as a remainder which means that (x-2) is not a factor. The remainder should be zero for it to be a factor.
