Less than is subtraction so your answer to "six less than a number is 14" would be
n-6=14
The answer is ou need to rewrite the equation to make it easy... and let it equal zero
<span>2<span>x2</span>−8x+4=0</span>
which will become
<span>2(<span>x2</span>−4x+2)=0</span>
you need to solve
<span><span>x2</span>−4x+2=0</span><span>
by completing the square or the general quadratic formula.</span>
They are using the point (2, 8) to write this equation. You know that because of the "y-8" in the equation, and also because it's bolded! lol. Anyways, what's missing is the slope and the x value from our point. The slope is -2. Find this by picking 2 points on the line and putting those into the slope equation. Use the bolded point and the x-intercept: (2,8) and (6,0):

. As stated earlier the x coordinate in the bolded point is 2. So our equation is y-8=-2(x-2). And there you Go!
