Answer: Find the greatest common factor, and put in parentheses outside of the expression

Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest common factor is the largest number that all terms are divisible by. Here is an example: 4x+8y+12 In this example the greatest common factor is 4. So, first we divide the expression by 4 and put it in parentheses, giving us (x+2y+3). However, (x+2y+3) does not equal 4x+8y+12. We need to put the 4 we divided by in front of the parentheses, giving us 4(x+2y+3), which does equal 4x+8y+12. Hope this helps

Which of the following is correct equation for the trend line in the scatter plot? A. Y= 2/5 x -2 B. Y= 5x-1 C. Y= 5x +5 D. Y= -

Answer: C. Y = 5x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write, or decide on, the equation for the blue line as this line represents the trend line for this scatter plot. We will write this in slope-intercept form. See attached for a visual.

First, we will find our slope. We will use $\frac{rise}{run}$ for this since we have a graph with clear points. See attached, we count up [5] and then count to the right [1] for a slope of 5.

-> Slope = 5

Now, we will find our y-intercept. This is where the line intersects the y-axis. The line hits the y-axis at point (0, 5) giving us a y-intercept of 5.

-> Y-intercept = 5

Lastly, we will write our equation and decide on an answer.

y = mx + b

y = (5)x + (5)

Y = 5x + 5

C. Y = 5x + 5
