Explanation:
there are no whole numbers which multiply to - 3
and sum to - 4
we can solve using the method of

Answer:
(9,12)
Step-by-step explanation:
3 is less than 5, so rounded to the nearest ten is 360.
6 is greater than 5, so rounded to the nearest hundred, our answer is 400.
Answer:
(- 1, - 1 )
Step-by-step explanation:
under a reflection in the x- axis
a point (x, y ) → (x, - y ) , then
(- 1, 4 ) → (- 1, - 4 )
a translation of 3 units up means adding 3 to the y- coordinate , so
(- 1, - 4 ) → (- 1, - 4 + 3 ) → (- 1, - 1 )
Answer:
y = - 3x + 5
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 )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, - 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 2)
m = 
= 
= - 3, thus
y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
Using (1, 2), then
2 = - 3 + c ⇒ c = 2 + 3 = 5
y = - 3x + 5 ← equation of line
