To factor both numerator and denominator in this rational expression we are going to substitute 
with 
; so 
and 
. This way we can rewrite the expression as follows:
Now we have two much easier to factor expressions of the form
. For the numerator we need to find two numbers whose product is 
(30) and its sum 
(-11); those numbers are -5 and -6. 
and 
.
Similarly, for the denominator those numbers are -2 and -5.
and 
. Now we can factor both numerator and denominator:
Notice that we have
in both numerator and denominator, so we can cancel those out:
But remember than
, so lets replace that to get back to our original variable:
Last but not least, the denominator of rational expression can't be zero, so the only restriction in the variable is

Answer:
--- Slope intercept
--- Standard form
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The attached linear graph
Required
The equation
Select any two points on the line
Next, calculate the slope (m)
So, we have:
The slope intercept is then calculated using:
So, we have:
Multiply through bu 4
Subtract 3x from both sides
--- Standard form
