Explanation:
You can check your answer by making sure that each of the primes you found is actually a prime. (Compare to a list of known primes, for example.) After you have determined your factors are primes, multiply them together to see if the result is 73. If so, you have found the correct prime factorization.

<em>Additional comment</em>
73 is prime, so its prime factor is 73.
73 = 73
3x - 4y = 8
y = mx + b ; m is the slope ; b is the y-intercept
-4y = -3x + 8
y = -3x/-4 + 8/-4
<u>y = 3/4 x - 2</u>
Need to check if the given choices have the same slope.
3x + 4y = -8
4y = -3x - 8
y = -3/4 x - 8/4 = -3/4 x - 2
6x - 8y = 12
-8y = -6x + 12
y = -6/-8 x + 12/-8
y = 3/4 x - 1 1/2
9x - 12y = 24 This equation would cause a consistent-dependent system
-12y = -9x + 24
y = -9/-12 x + 24/-12
<u>y = 3/4 x - 2</u>
16x + 12y = -10
12y = -16x - 10
y = -16/12 x - 10/12
y = -1 1/3 x - 5/6
One coordinate that is 7 units away from (2,-7) is (2,0). (2,0) is 7 units to the right of (2,-7)
Another coordinate is (9,-7). This one also works.
5-2=3 so therefore y=3
Remember to work backwards and use opposite operations.
