Answer:
y = x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (4, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, - 2) ← 2 points on the line
m = =
=
Note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, - 2) ⇒ c = - 2
y = x - 2 ← equation of line
Answer:
24
Step-by-step explanation:
If you use Pascal's triangle, which I did, you will look at the 5th row of the triangle which contains the numbers 1, 4, 6, 4, 1
If we expand using a = 2x and b = -1, then the expansion looks like this:
If you simplify all that down by multiplying, you'll get
If you don't know how to use Pascal's triangle, you need to learn. It's so very cool!
Answer/explanation
4(3x+5)=-4
You will distribute the four to every term in the parenthesis,
12x+20=-4
Then you will combine like terms
12x+20=-4
-20 -20
12x=-24
Then you will divide 12 to isolate x
Obviously, -24 cancels out and you would get x=-2
