Split the second term 7x^2 - 8x - 12 into two terms
7x^2 + 6x - 14x - 12
Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms
x(7x + 6) - 2(7x + 6)
Factor out the common term; 7x + 6
<u>(7x + 6)(x - 2) </u>
Answer:
y=4x-4
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
we are given that a line has a slope of 4 and it contains the point (4, 12)
We want to write the equation of this line in slope-intercept form
Slope-intercept form is given as y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
As we are already given the slope, we can immediately substitute it into the formula.
Replace m with 4 in y=mx+b:
y=4x+b
Now we need to find b
As the equation passes through the point (4, 12), we can use it to help solve for b
Substitute 4 as x and 12 as y:
12 = 4(4) + b
Multiply
12 = 16 + b
Subtract 16 from both sides
-4 = b
Substitute -4 as b
y = 4x - 4
Hope this helps!

2 angles are complementary if the sum of their measures is 90°.
For example if m(P) = 41° and m(Q)=49°, then P and Q are complementary.
Thus A and B are complementary means that m(A)=m(B)=90°:
(3x+5°) + (2x-15°) =90°
5x-10°=90°
5x=100°
x=20°
Thus
m(A)=3x+5°=3* 20°+5°=60°+5°=65°
m(B)=2x-15°=2*20°-15°=40°-15°=25°
