Perhaps the most concise way to factor is by "completing the square" which is how the quadratic formula is derived...
x^2+6x+8=0 move constant to other side, subtract 8 from both sides
x^2+6x=-8, halve the linear coefficient, square it, then add that to both sides, in this case (6/2)^2=3^2=9
x^2+6x+9=1 now the left side is a perfect square of the form
(x+3)^2=1 take the square root of both sides
x+3=±√1 subtract 3 from both sides
x=-3±√1
x=-3±1
x=-4 and -2
Since the zeros occur when x=-4 and -2 the factors of the equation are:
(x+2)(x+4)
Answer:
soln
A=(9,j)
x1=9,y1=j
B=(10,4)
x2=10,y2=4
slope=1
by using the fomulaof slope,
slope=y2-y1/x2-x1
1 =4-j/10-9
1 = 4-j/1
1=4-j
j=4-1
j=3
