The point-slope form:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

We have the point (8, -4) and the slope m = -56. Substitute:

y-(-4)=-56(x-8)\\\\\boxed{y+4=-56(x-8)}

y + 4 = -5/6 (x + 8)

(i had the same question on a k12 quiz)

if its actually -56 then the equation would be  

y + 4 = -56 (x+8)

2x^2-13x-24 factor the polynomial<br><br> Explain please
vovangra [49]

Answer:

(x - 8)(2x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor a polynomial of the form

ax² + bx + c,

follow these steps:

1) Multiply ac together.

2) Find 2 factors of ac that add to b. Call these factors p and q.

3) Break up the middle term of the polynomial into px + qx.

4) Factor by grouping.

Now let's follow the steps above with your problem.

You are given the polynomial

2x² - 13x - 24,

so a = 2, b = -13, and c = -24

1) Find ac.ac is the product 2(-24) = -48

2) Now we need to find 2 factors of -48 that add to b, -13.

I know that 48 = 3 × 16, so if we use -16 and 3 for the two numbers, we have

-16 + 3 = -13

and -16 × 3 = -48.

3) Now we break up the middle term of the polynomial, -13x, into -16x + 3x.

The polynomial is now

2x² - 16x + 3x - 24

4) We factor the polynomial by grouping. To factor by grouping, you factor a common factor out of the first 2 terms and factor out a common factor out of the last two terms.

2x² - 16x + 3x - 24 =

= 2x(x - 8) + 3(x - 8)

We now see the common factor of x - 8, so we factor that out.

= (x - 8)(2x + 3)

Answer: (x - 8)(2x + 3)

A license plate consists of two letters followed by two digits; for example, $MP78$. Neither the digits nor the letters may be r
alex41 [277]

If in a number plate two different alphabets need to be selected then there are 650 such number plates that can be formed in such a way that the alphabets come in increasing order.

Given that a number plate can be formed using 2 alphabets which must come in increasing order.

We are required to find the number of plates that can be formed.

Number of total alphabets=26.

The number of plates will be equal to the number of ways in which two alphabets can be arranged.

Combination is the number of ways in which some combinations can be formed. It is expressed as nC_{r}=n!/r!(n-r)!

Number of license plates=26C_{1}*25C_{1}

=26*25

=650 plates

Hence If in a number plate two different alphabets need to be selected then there are 650 such number plates that can be formed in such a way that the alphabets come in increasing order.
