Answer: -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope=rise/run
In this case we rise up 4
And we run 2 to the left which makes it a negative
So in this case the slope is -4/2
Which can be simplified to -2
Answer:
D. (x – 3)^2 = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume you want an equivalent to x^2 -6x = 8.
We can complete the square by adding the square of half the x-coefficient to both sides of the equation.
x^2 -6x +(-6/2)^2 = 8 +(-6/2)^2
(x -3)^2 = 17 . . . . simplify
2x^2 - 2x - 40 = 2x^2 -10x + 8x - 40 = 2x(x - 5) + 8(x - 5)
= (x-5)(2x+8) = 2(x-5)(x+4)
Each piece will be 6 inches, and there will be 7 I believe.
