Answer:
y -2 = -2/3(x +4)
Step-by-step explanation:
There are several different forms of the equation for a line. Each is useful in its own way. Here, the line crosses the y-axis at a point between integer values, so using that intercept point could be problematical. That suggests the "point-slope" form of the equation for a line would be a better choice.
That form is ...
y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)
__
The two marked points are (-4, 2) and (5, -4). All we need is the slope.
The slope is given by the formula ...
m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1) . . . . . . . . where the given points are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)
m = (-4 -2)/(5 -(-4)) = -6/9 = -2/3
Using the first point, the equation for the line can now be written as ...
y -2 = -2/3(x -(-4))
y -2 = -2/3(x +4)
This is a perfect square trinomial. All of these special cases take this form which you can identify: a²+2ab+b².
x^2 - 8x +16 equals (x-4)²
answer: (x-4)²
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
24n + 32w = (3n + w)
We're asked to use distributive property, this means that we have to find a way that the given expression on the left hand side is equal to the given incomplete exresssion on the right hand side. In so doing, we're fulfilling the distributive property tag.
Given 3n, 3 factorises 24 into 8, and at the same time, factorises 32 into 4. Thus, we can then conclude that
24n + 32w = 8(3n + 4w)
