Given:

The line passing through (-2,5) and (2,p) has a gradient of -\dfrac{1}{2}.

To find:

The value of p.

Solution:

If a line passes through two points, then the slope of the line is:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

The line passing through (-2,5) and (2,p). So, the slope of the line is:

m=\dfrac{p-5}{2-(-2)}

m=\dfrac{p-5}{2+2}

m=\dfrac{p-5}{4}

It is given that the gradient or slope of the line is -\dfrac{1}{2}.

\dfrac{p-5}{4}=-\dfrac{1}{2}

On cross multiplication, we get

2(p-5)=-4(1)

2p-10=-4

2p=-4+10

2p=6

Divide both sides by 2.

p=3

Therefore, the value of p is 3.

6+(4x(5+(10÷2)))

6+(4×(5+5))

Then the next bracket

6+(4×(10)

Open the next bracket, then multiply before adding

What are the factors of x2 − 64?
geniusboy [140]
Well, should be likee thiss correct meh if im wrong or what ever, but
 the answer would be, last one (x + 8)(x - 8), well 1, is because the 64 is a negative so if you would just take that 64 and bring it down then look at this onece the work is donee then when u add the 2 numbers that x would be x² or x2 n  that - 64 is that + 8 (-8) witch would equal out so if you really look at it the CORRECT ANSWER WOULD BE B. (x - 8)(x -8)
