In function notation (f(x)=mx+b) m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept.
In a straight horizontal line the slope is always 0. This cancels out the 'x' factor so you get f(x)=b.
To find b you simply look at where the line crosses the y-axis. in this case it crosses at 2.
When you plug in the y-intercept you get f(x)=2
Answer: 3 • (x + 2) • (3x + 7)
Step-by-step explanation:
It depends on the given information.
McKenzie's work is correct if the two short sides are given as 5 and 13.
Cara's work is correct is almost correct if 5 is one leg, and 13 is the hypotenuse. The exact answer is 12, but she wrote it as approximately equal. That's her only problem.
By the way, Ddssaa122: when posting questions, the power of a number is written as 5^2 and not 52. If you copy and paste, please make sure you add the caret sign to indicate a power, or else you will suffer by getting a wrong answer. 5^2=5*5, 52=4*13, so they are not the same.
