Answer:

y=3/5x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, put the slope in point-slope form: y-y1=x(x-x1)

y+6=3/5(x+5)

Distribute 3/5 to (x+5) and simplify.

y+6=3/5x+3

y=3/5x-3

Which algebraic expression represents the phrase "the quotient of negative eight and the sum of a number and three"

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

$\dfrac{-8}{x+3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find an algebraic expression for the given statement i.e. "the quotient of negative eight and the sum of a number and three".

Let the number be x. Quotient means to divide. It means we need to divide -8 and the sum of x and 3.

So, we can write it as follows :

$\dfrac{-8}{x+3}$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Factor each of the following differences of two squares and write your answer together with solution.

$\large \boxed{\mathbb{ANSWER\: WITH\: EXPLANATION} \downarrow}$

$\sf \: x ^ { 2 } - 36$

Rewrite $\sf\:x^{2}-36 as x^{2}-6^{2}$ . The difference of squares can be factored using the rule: $\sf\: a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right)$ .

$\boxed{ \boxed{ \bf\left(x-6\right)\left(x+6\right) }}$

$\sf \: 49 - x ^ { 2 }$

Rewrite 49-x² as 7²-x². The difference of squares can be factored using the rule: $\sf\:a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right)$ .

$\sf \: \left(7-x\right)\left(7+x\right)$

Reorder the terms.

$\boxed{ \boxed{ \bf\left(-x+7\right)\left(x+7\right) }}$
