Hey!
First, let's write the problem,

Factor out the common term, which is 4,

Then, let's factor this part:

We are going to factor it using the difference of squares rule.

Our final factored answer would be,

Answer:
-x + y = 0 or x - y = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
The line passes through points (0, 0) and (4,4), then its slope is:
m = (4 - 0)/(4 - 0) = 1
Given that the line passes through (0, 0), its y-intercept is
b = 0
Using slope and y-intercept form:
y = mx + b
y = x
The standard form of a line is:
Ax + By = C
So, we have to put all variables on the left side, as follows:
-x + y = 0
Multiplying by (-1) at both sides:
x - y = 0
No; you can not have an x-value go to more than one y-value
At th x-intercept y=o
∴40x + 70 = 0
40x = -70
x = -70/40
x = -1.75
x intercepr = (-1.75,0)
