D. -6x + 12y - 12

First, distribute the -4 and the -2.

-8x + 12y + 4x - 2x - 12

Now, rearrange the expression so the like terms are easier to combine.

-8x + 4x - 2x + 12y - 12

Now, combine the like terms.

-6x + 12y - 12

This is as simple as the expression can get without knowing what the variables are.

Multiply the first bracket by -4. Multiply the second bracket by -2

-8x+12y+4x-2x-12

Negative and Negative = Positive

Negative and Positive = Negative

Then do -8x+4x-2x

= -6x+12y-12

Answer is D. -6x+12y-12

A point on the terminal side of an angle theta is given. Find the exact value of each of the six trigonometric functions of thet

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Plot that point in the x/y coordinate plane to see that it sits in the third quadrant. From the point, draw a line to the origin, constructing a right triangle. The side adjacent to the angle is -2, the side across from the angle is -5, so we need to find the length of the hypotenuse using Pythagorean's Theorem:

$c^2=(-5)^2+(-2)^2$ and
