Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

n represents the number

n = -12 + n2 reorder terms

n = n2 - 12 subtract n from both sides

0 = n2 - n - 12 FOIL

0 = (n - 4)(n + 3)

(-3,4)

So the only 2 numbers that could be 12 less than its square are -3 and 4, but I am pretty sure that they want positive numbers, so I would go with 4.

Is it 4? Because the square of it is 16 and 16-12 = 4

What is equation of a line that is parallel to y = -6x – 1 and passes through the point (1,4)

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

y = -6x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines share the same slope. Given y = -6x – 1, we know that the equation of this new line has the form y = -6x – C. The coordinates of the point (1, 4) determine the value of C:

(4) = -6(1) – C, or:

4 = -6 - C

Then C = -10, and the desired equation is

y = -6x – (-10), or

y = -6x + 10
