An equation that goes through (-2, 1) and has a slope of 4 is y = 4x + 9.

You can find this by looking for the y-intercept (b) by using the slope (m), the point and slope intercept form. The work is below for you.

y = mx + b

1 = 4(-2) + b

1 = -8 + b

9 = b

Now we can use that and the slope to create the equation y = 4x + 9

Determine the following equation pls help

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

subtract a constant from both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step in solving an equation like this is to get the coefficients and variables by themselves, and to do that, you must separate the coefficients (numbers being multiplied by a variable) from the constant (numbers not being multiplied by a variable). You do this by subtracting the constant from both sides of the equation to ensure that they are equal (you subtract -10 from both sides here (adding 10 to both sides)).

Given the polynomial 6x3 + 4x2 − 6x − 4, what is the value of the constant 'k' in the factored form? 6x3 + 4x2 − 6x − 4 = 2(x +

CaHeK987 [17]

First you graph it using a graphing calculator, you look at the table of values to find out one point in which y= 0. The first one that comes up is when x=1.
If you don't have a graphing calculator you can use trial and error by inputing some numbers into x until you get y= 0.

Once you have an x value which makes y=0, you can start factorizing it.
you divide 6x3 +4x2 -6x - 4 into (x-1) which is when y =0
to get 6x2+10x+4

This can be used to write the polynomial as (x-1)(6x2 +10x+4)
you then factorize the second bracket, 6x2 +10x+4.
you can take the 2 outside to give you 2(3x2 +5x+2)
you can factorize this to become 2(3x+2)(x+1)

Now you just substitute your factorized second bracket into your unfactorized second bracket to give you 2(3x+2)(x+1)(x-1).

From this you can deduce that k= 1
