Answer:

B.) 2(5x-4)(x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

10x^2+2x-8

= 2(5x^2 + x - 4)

= 2(5x^2 + 5x - 4x - 4)

= 2[5x(x + 1) - 4(x + 1)]

= 2(5x-4)(x+1)

Answer:

B.) 2(5x - 4)(x + 1).

Step-by-step explanation:

10x^2+2x-8

First divide by the common factor 2:

= 2(5x^2 + x - 4)

Now we factor the expression in the parentheses using the 'ac' method.

5 * -4 = -20 so to get the + x in the middle we need 5x - 4x:

= 2 ( 5x^2 + 5x - 4x - 4)

= 2[ 5x(x + 1) - 4(x + 1)]

= 2(5x - 4)(x + 1) (answer).

Find the slope-intercept form of an equation for the line that passes through (–1, 2) and is parallel to y = 2x – 3.

sammy [17]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line of the slope-intersection form is given by:

$y = mx + b$

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut point with the y axis.

By definition, if two straight lines are parallel then their slopes are equal. Thus, the slope of the line sought will be $m = 2.$

$y = 2x + b$

We substitute the given point to find b:

$2 = 2 (-1) + b\\2 = -2 + b\\2 + 2 = b\\b = 4$

Finally the line is:

$y = 2x + 4$

Answer:

$y = 2x + 4$
