Correct Question:
Which term could be put in the blank to create a fully simplified polynomial written in standard form?
![8x^3y^2 -\ [\ \ ] + 3xy^2 - 4y3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=8x%5E3y%5E2%20-%5C%20%5B%5C%20%5C%20%5D%20%2B%203xy%5E2%20-%204y3)
Options

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
![8x^3y^2 -\ [\ \ ] + 3xy^2 - 4y^3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=8x%5E3y%5E2%20-%5C%20%5B%5C%20%5C%20%5D%20%2B%203xy%5E2%20-%204y%5E3)
Required
Fill in the missing gap
We have that:
![8x^3y^2 -\ [\ \ ] + 3xy^2 - 4y^3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=8x%5E3y%5E2%20-%5C%20%5B%5C%20%5C%20%5D%20%2B%203xy%5E2%20-%204y%5E3)
From the polynomial, we can see that the power of x starts from 3 and stops at 0 while the power of y is constant.
Hence, the variable of the polynomial is x
This implies that the power of x decreases by 1 in each term.
The missing gap has to its left, a term with x to the power of 3 and to its right, a term with x to the power of 1.
This implies that the blank will be filled with a term that has its power of x to be 2
From the list of given options, only
can be used to complete the polynomial.
Hence, the complete polynomial is:

To get the equation of the line, you need two points that belong to this line.
From the given graph, we can choose any two points: (0,-4) and (-2,0)
The general for of the linear straight line is:
y = mx + c where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept
First, we will calculate the slope using the following rule:
slope = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
slope (m) = (0--4) / (-2-0) = 4/-2 = -2
The equation of the line now is: y = -2x + c
Then, we will get the value of the c. To do so, we will choose any point and substitute in the equation. I will choose the point (0,-4)
y = -2x + c
-4 = -2(0) + c
c = -4
Based on the above calculations, the equation of the line is:
y = -2x - 4
