(x+7)(x+3) so therefore you set each equation = 0...
x + 7 = 0
x + 3= 0
and solve
x = -3
x = -7
Answer:
-7/x
Step-by-step explanation:
first, you combine the terms together to get -7x^-1. you cant have negative exponents in the numerator so you move the x^-1 to the denominator. once it move its becomes positive then.
Answer: Choice A
y + 1 = -3(x+2)
=============================
Explanation:
Let's look through the answer choices.
Choices C and D show that the point (2,1) is on the line. But the graph does not show this. So we can rule out choices C and D.
With choice A, the slope is negative and choice B has a positive slope.
The answer must be choice A because the line is going downhill as we move from left to right.
--------------
A common method is to pick two points on the line and compute the slope using the slope formula
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Once you know the slope, you would use point slope form
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
It would take that horse a little over 20 minutes.
