<h3>Answer: 5</h3>
=================================
Explanation:
Apply the difference of squares rule
x^2 - y^2 = (x-y)(x+y)
x^2 - y^2 = (5)(1)
x^2 - y^2 = 5
----------
Alternatively, you can solve the system
for x and y to get (x,y) = (3,-2).
Then compute x^2-y^2 = 3^2-(-2)^2 = 9-4 = 5
Answer:
y=x+1
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's do the easiest part, finding the y-intercept, which shows up at the end of your slope intercept equation, y=mx+b, where slope is rise over run!
- Simply look for where the coordinate is on the y-intercept, which is at y = 1!
Then, we need to find our rise over run, which is basically counting from point a to point b. To get to the lower coordinate from the top, we go down two (-2), and over 4. Which means we "rose" -2, and "ran" 4! It's -2 because we went DOWN, and positive 4 because we went FORWARD. This gave us 2 over 4, which is the same as 1 over 2!
