Answers:
- b = -19
- b = -11
- b = -9
- b = 19
- b = 11
- b = 9
====================================================
Explanation:
Here are all the ways to multiply to 18 when using integers only:
- -1*(-18) = 18
- -2*(-9) = 18
- -3*(-6) = 18
- 1*18 = 18
- 2*9 = 18
- 3*6 = 18
Sum each pair of factors to find out a possible value of b.
- -1 + (-18) = -19
- -2 + (-9) = -11
- -3 + (-6) = -9
- 1 + 18 = 19
- 2 + 9 = 11
- 3 + 6 = 9
Therefore, the possible values of b are
- b = -19
- b = -11
- b = -9
- b = 19
- b = 11
- b = 9
which are the final answers.
----------------------
An example:
Let's say b = 11. This would mean 
becomes 
It would factor to 
since it was stated earlier that:
2+9 = 11
2 * 9 = 18
You can use the FOIL rule, distributive property, or the box method to confirm that 
is a true equation for all real numbers x.
This same idea applies for the other values of b.
----------------------
If you're curious why this works, consider multiplying the two factors (x+p) and (x+q)
Use the FOIL rule to get 
The middle term 
has the components add to the coefficient, while those same two components multiply to get the last term. This is why when factoring we're looking for two numbers that multiply to 18, and also add to the value of b (which in the case of the last example was 11).
Answer:
The slope of the line given by the linear equation is -2
The slope of the line shown in the graph is -1
Step-by-step explanation:
The form of the linear equation is y = m x + b, where
The rule of the slope of a line is m = 
, where
- (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points lie on the line
Let us use these rules to answer the question
∵ The linear equation is y = -2x + 7
→ By comparing it with the form of the linear equation above
∴ m = -2
∵ m is the slope of the line represented by the given equation
∴ The slope of the line given by the linear equation is -2
From the given figure
∵ The line passes through points (6, 0) and (0, 6)
∴ x1 = 6 and y1 = 0
∴ x2 = 0 and y2 = 6
→ Substitute them in the rule of the slope above to find it
∵ m = 
∴ m = -1
∵ m is the slope of the line shown in the graph
∴ The slope of the line shown in the graph is -1
Answer:
Decreasing
Step-by-step explanation:
If I started at the y point and follow the graph line. Then you will see that I will be going down the graph.
Hope this helped
The perimeter would have to be 30.2 for each side of the fence
Kilometers are because if you multiply them by 1000 they would be 6000 and meter divide by 100 would be 6 and millimeters divide by 1000 would be 6 so 6000, 60, 6, 6
