Answer:

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula:

y2 - y1

m = ------------- , which here becomes

x2 - x1

y - 5 -1

m = ------------- = -----

8 - (-2) 5

Solve this for x. Cross multiplication yields:

5y - 25 = -1(10) = -10

Then 5y = 15, and y = 3

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(2m + 5n)² = (2m + 5n)(2m + 5n)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

2m(2m + 5n) + 5n(2m + 5n) ← distribute both parenthesis

= 4m² + 10mn + 10mn + 25n² ← collect like terms

= 4m² + 20mn + 25n² ← perfect square trinomial
