The expression can be simplified as:
b-8
Answer:
m = 4.7
Step-by-step explanation:
If you plug in these values in the slope formula, this is what happens:)
Step-by-step explanation:
well,
(y - 7)² = (y - 7)(y - 7)
remember how to multiply 2 expressions ?
you have to multiply every term of one expression with every term of the other expression and sum the results all up (incl. considering their individual signs, of course).
so, when we do the multiplication, we get
(y - 7)(y - 7) = y×y - 7×y - 7×y + (-7)×(-7) =
= y² - 14y + 49
and that is clearly different to y² - 49
FYI
y² - 49 is the result of
(y - 7)(y + 7)
because
y×y + 7×y - 7×y + (-7)(7) = y² - 49
-8 you have to do a number line
