Answer:
x = -8, x = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Adding a number and its opposite gives a result of 0. That is, x+8 will be 0 when x = -8, because -8 +8 = 0.
Likewise, x+4 will be zero when x = -4, because -4 +4 = 0.
The values of x that make (x+8)(x+4) = 0 are -8 and -4.
This equation is in point-slope form. To change it to standard form, you must distribute -1/2 to (x+4) to get -1/2x-2. Your equation should now be y-8 = -1/2x-2. You should then add 1/2x to both sides (to cancel out -1/2x on the right side). Now, you should have y+1/2x-8 = -2. Finally, add 8 to both sides (to cancel out -8 on the left side) and flip the x and the y to get a final answer of 1/2x+y = 6.
