4 goes into 26 6 times with a remainder of 2.
26 ÷ 4 = 6 2/4
6 2/4 = 6 1/2
Your answer is 6 1/2
The slope (m) = -13.
We can use the slope formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Let (x1, y1) = (7, 26)
(x2, y2) = (12, -39)
Plug in the values into the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = (-39 - 26) / (12 - 7)
m = -65/5
m = -13
Notice how the top is an addition of two cubes, namely x and 2.
You can rewrite the equation as:

Now, (a + b)³ can be simplified down to (a + b)(a² - ab + b²)
Following the same pattern, we get:
