It can't. 9 x 1/4 = 2 and 1/4. The equation in the question is a false statement.
(x+3)(x+5) would be the factoring of it
Answer:
Sorted Data Set: 2, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 18, 20, 21
Mean (Average) 14.545454545455
Median 15
Range 19
Mode 18, appeared 2 times
Geometric Mean 12.803503609558

First Quartile Q1 = 12
Second Quartile Q2 = 15
Third Quartile Q3 = 18
Interquartile Range IQR = 6
Its the third option y-9=-1/4(x+2) because the equation for point slope form is y-y1= m(x-x1) so because there is a negative 2 it is a positive 2. Remember a negative minus a negative is a positive. Hope this helped :)!
