compare with y=mx+c

then

y=4-2x

y=-2x+4

c=4,m=-2

Answer:

slope = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 4 - 2x , that is

y = - 2x + 4 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 2

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.1 Factoring 4y2-12y+9

The first term is, 4y2 its coefficient is 4 .
The middle term is, -12y its coefficient is -12 .
The last term, "the constant", is +9

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 4 • 9 = 36

Step-2 : Find two factors of 36 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -12 .

-36 + -1 = -37
-18 + -2 = -20
-12 + -3 = -15
-9 + -4 = -13
-6 + -6 = -12 That's it

What fraction would you add to 29/6 to make 4

Zigmanuir [339]

Keeping in mind that 29/6 is greater than 4, is actually 4 and 5/6, so the amount we'll "add" will be a negative one.

$\bf \cfrac{29}{6}+x=4\implies x=4-\cfrac{29}{6}\implies x=\cfrac{4}{1}-\cfrac{29}{6}\implies x=\cfrac{(6)4-(1)29}{6}
\\\\\\
x=\cfrac{24-29}{6}\implies x=\cfrac{-5}{6}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{29}{6}+\left( -\cfrac{5}{6} \right)=4$
