Answer <u>(assuming it can be in point-slope form)</u>:
Step-by-step explanation:
With the given information, we can use the point-slope formula, , to write the equation of the line. Substitute values for the
,
, and
in the formula to do so.
The represents the slope, so substitute
in its place. The
and
represent the x and y values of one point the line intersects, so substitute -6 for
and -8 for
. This gives the following answer and equation (just make sure to convert the double negatives into positives:
Factor 16 and see the - factor pairs and add them, see which add to -12
-1-16=-17 nope
-2-8=-10 nope
-4-4=-8
hmm
we will solve with math
xy=16
x+y=-12
minus x both sides
y=-12-x
sub for y in other equation
x(-12-x)=16
-12x-x^2=16
add 12x+x^2 both sides
0=x^2+12x+16
use quadratic formula
if you have
ax^2+bx+c=0
x=
0=x^2+12x+16
a=1
b=12
c=16
