Answer:
<em>m </em>=<em> </em>1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Use two points on the line given.
(0 , 2) & (-4 , 0)
You are solving for the slope. The slope formula:
<em>m</em> (slope) = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
Let:
(x₁ , y₁) = (-4 , 0)
(x₂ , y₂) = (0 , 2)
Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables:
<em>m</em> = (2 - 0)/(0 - (-4))
Simplify:
<em>m</em> = (2)/( 0 - (-4))
<em>m</em> = (2)/(0 + 4)
<em>m</em> = 2/4
Simplify the slope. Divide the common factor 2 from both the numerator and denominator:
<em>m</em> = (2/4)/(2/2) = 1/2
1/2 is your slope.

So hmmm x²+6x+8=0
alrite.. let's do some grouping now
( x² + 6x + [?]²) + 8 = 0
notice above, we have a missing fellow in order to get a perfect square trinomial... hmm who would that be?
let's take a peek at the middle guy of the trinomial.. 6x.. hmmm let's factor it, 2*3*x, wait a minute! 2 * 3 * x... we already have x² on the left-side, since the middle term is just 2 * the square root of the other two terms, that means that the guy on the right, our missing guy must be "3"
alrite, let's add 3² then, however, bear in mind that, all we're doing is borrowing from our very good friend Mr Zero, 0
so if we add 3², we also have to subtract 3², let's do so
(x² + 6x +3² - 3²) + 8 = 0
(x² + 6x +3²) + 8 - 3² = 0
(x+3)²=3² - 8
(x+3)² = 1
A scale factor of 3 was used
Answer:
a: 17m + m
Step-by-step explanation:
Each one can answer 17 questions in 1 minute.
Each one can answer 17m questions in m minutes.
The total they can answer is 17m + 17m = 34m.
Every expression that is equal to 34m represents the amount they can both answer in the same number of minutes.
The expression we are looking for does not equal 34m.
a: 17m + m = 18m
b: 34m = 34m
c: 2(17m) = 34m
d: 17m + 17m = 34m
Only choice a does not equal 34m.
Answer: a: 17m + m
