<h3>Answer:  2</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

If a number only has one factor pair, then that number must be prime. This is because prime numbers only have factors of 1 and the number itself.

For instance, the value 7 is prime because the only factors of this are 1 and 7.

For something like the number 32, it is composite and not prime because it has the factors {1,2,4,8,16,32} and it leads to these three factor pairs: 1*32, 2*16, 4*8. This is one example showing why the answer isn't composite.

-----------

Let's say that p is the unknown prime we want to find. The factors of this are 1 and p. We're told that "one of the factors is twice the other factor", so that must mean p = 2*1 = 2. We can see that 2 is twice that of 1.

If a line crosses though (5,-3) and (-1,6);what is the y-intercept?
harina [27]
(5,-3) (-1,6)
y=mx+b

calculate m:
(-3-6)/(5-(-1)
=-9/6=-1.5

y=-1.5x+b

insert the (5, -3) point to calculate b:

-3=-1.5*5+b
-3=-7.5+b
4.5=b

b=the y intercept, so the line intercepts x=0 at y=4.5
