First of all not to be rude, but it is order of operations not properties of operations. Second, you can solve equations by going in the order of PEMDAS or Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. Multiplication and division are switchable, addition and subtraction. If you do not follow this order you get the equation or inequality wrong.
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
y_2 - y_1 / x_2 - x _1
4 - 2 / 3 - (-1) = 2/4 = 1/2
y +4 = 1/2 (x + 3) distributive property
y + 4 = 1/2x + 1.5
y= 1/2x - 5/2 subtraction (you subtract 4 from both sides) (-5/2 = -2.5)
therefore your equation is y = 1/2x - 5/2
hope this helps :)
Answer:
The first option
Step-by-step explanation:
The domain of a rational function should be all real numbers except for when the denominator is equal to 0. To find when the denominator is equal to 0 you simply need to find the zeroes of the denominator... but in this case you can do that through factoring and using the quadratic equation.
So first step is going to be to factor out the GCF, which in this case is x. This gives you the equation. 
. So one of the zeroes is when x=0. Now to find the other two zeroes you can use the quadratic equation which is 
. So to find the other zeroes you simply plug the values in. a=2, b=-1, c=-15
