(————————————————— + —————) - ————— = 0
(a + 3) • (a - 3) a - 3 a + 3
Equation at the end of step
4
:
(4a + 9) 1
————————————————— - ————— = 0
(a + 3) • (a - 3) a + 3
Pull out like factors :
3a + 12 = 3 • (a + 4)
Equation at the end of step
6
:
3 • (a + 4)
————————————————— = 0
(a + 3) • (a - 3)
3•(a+4)
——————————— • (a+3)•(a-3) = 0 • (a+3)•(a-3)
(a+3)•(a-3)
a+4 = 0
Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation :
a = -4
The answer is (9,21) because is you plug in 9 for x, and add 12, you get 21.
Here, take any points (0, -2) ((1, -6)
Now, slope (m) = -6 - (-2) / 1 - 0 = -6+2 / 1 = -4
Now, y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - (-6) = -4(x - 1)
y + 6 = -4x + 4
y = -4x - 2
In short, Your Equation would be y = -4x - 2
Hope this helps!
