The first equation, 8x - 9y = - 23
Obtain the equation in slope- intercept form
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )
to calculate m use the gradient formula
m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (  , 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 4, - 1 )
, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 4, - 1 )
m =  = (- 4)/-
 = (- 4)/-  =
 = 
partial equation is y =  x + c
 x + c
to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
using (- 4, - 1 ), then
- 1 = -  + c ⇒ c =
 + c ⇒ c = 
y =  x +
 x + ← in slope- intercept form
 ← in slope- intercept form
the equation of a line in standard form is
Ax + By = C ( A is a positive integer and B, C are integers )
rearrange the slope- intercept equation into this form
multiply through by 9
9y =  8x + 23 ( subtract 9y and 23 from both sides )
8x - 9y = - 23 in standard form

Answer:
11x² - y
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write out expression
10x² - y + x²
Step 2: Combine like terms
11x² - y
That is simplest form.
