The first step when factoring any polynomial is to factor out the GCF. The GCF is the greatest common factor for all the terms of the polynomial. By factoring out the GCF first, the coefficients and constant term of the polynomial will be reduced.

<span>If there is a common factor, factor out the GCF. </span>The first step in factoring any polynomial is to determine whether the terms of the polynomial have a greatest common factor. If yes, factor it out first.

Write the standard form equation of the line through the given points. through (0.-4) and (-3,-2)

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

The standard form of equation of the line through the given points. through (0.-4) and (-3,-2) is $\frac{2}{3}x+y=-4$

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of equation is $Ax+By=C$

Finding slope

Using the given points (0,-4) and (-3,-2) we can find slope using formula: $Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$Slope=\frac{-2-(-4)}{-3-(0)}\\Slope=\frac{-2+4}{-3} \\Slope=-\frac{2}{3}$

Finding y-intercept

Using point (0,4) and Slope=-2/3 we can find y-intercept

$y=mx+b\\-4=-\frac{2}{3}(0)+b\\-4=0+b\\b=-4$

The slope intercept form of the line through the given points. through (0.-4) and (-3,-2) having slope =-2/3 and b=-4 will be:

$y=mx+b\\y=-\frac{2}{3}x-4$

Now, standard form of equation will be: $\frac{2}{3}x+y=-4$

So, The standard form of equation of the line through the given points. through (0.-4) and (-3,-2) is $\frac{2}{3}x+y=-4$

Volgvan

You can add like terms. Like terms are terms that have the same variables and the same exponent.

11x + 5 + -11x + 29 =

= 11x + -11x + 5 + 29

= 34
