c. 9
To complete the square, you take half of the coefficient of b and square it. It's important to note that the value being added will always be positive.





You will have to set up a system of equations
Answer:
4 1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: y= 3x - 
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we know the slope and a set of coordinates we can insert them into the formula y=mx+b and find what b is.
y=mx+b
-1/2=3(2)+b
-1/2=6+b
-1/2-6=6-6+b
-6 1/2=b
Therefore the equation is y=3x - 
Note: a² - b² = (a-b)(a+b)
9x² - 16y² = (3x)² - (4y)² = (3x - 4y)(3x + 4y)
