Let's say the numbers are "a" and "b"
thus

set the derivative to 0, and check the critical points, there's only one anyway
and do a first-derivative test, to see if it's a maximum
7 divided by -1 equals -7
Answer:
second one
Step-by-step explanation:
Because when you try to remove the brackets then you should multiply coefficient of x and coefficient of y by 2
So it will be 2x+18y
2*9=18
Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
Took the assignment! :)
What you want to do for each of those is follow the formula, y-y[1]=m(x-x[1]). When I say y[1] and x[1], I mean the x and y values given. So the first one would be y-4=-3(x-(-1)). Then you solve for y by distributing the -3 to x and +1 (+1 because two negatives make a positive), making the equation
y-4=-3x-3. Then you subtract the 4. Answer #1. y=-3x-7.
#2.
y-1=1(x-4)
y-1=x-4
y=x-5
#3.
y-2=2(x-(-1))
y-2=2x+2
y=2x+4
Hope this helped you!
