1. To find slope use the slope equation which would be (3 - -1)/ (5-3). The slope is m = 4\2 which is m = 2

2. Plug in one of the points to find the y-intercept. Using the point (5,3) , you would plug this point into the slope intercept equation, along with the slope which was found. 3= (2 x 5) +b. Solving this equation b=-7

3. The slop intercept form is y = 2x - 7

I hope this is the right answer!

Answer:

x = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

$x - 12\sqrt{x} + 36 = 0$

Subtract x and 36 from both sides.

$-12\sqrt{x} = -x - 36$

Divide both sides by -1.

$12\sqrt{x} = x + 36$

Square both sides.

$144x = x^2 + 72x + 1296$

Subtract 144x from both sides.

$0 = x^2 - 72x + 1296$

Factor the right side.

$0 = (x - 36)^2$

$x - 36 = 0$

$x = 36$

Since the solution of the equation involved squaring both sides, we musty check the answer for possible extraneous solutions.

Check x = 36:

$x - 12\sqrt{x} + 36 = 0$

$36 - 12\sqrt{36} + 36 = 0$

$36 - 12\times 6 + 36 = 0$

$36 - 72 + 36 = 0$

$0 = 0$

Since 0 = 0 is a true statement, the solution x = 36 is a valid solution.

Which of the following would represent the first step in simplifying the problem 7+56(6-2) divided by 2

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

Think about PEMDAS, Whatever is in parentheses you solve that first. (6-2) which will be 4, you'll do 7+65*4 and find your answer. And divide by 2 at the end.

Hope this help
