Answer:

$y=3x-4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Slope-intercept form: $y=mx+b$ where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0)

1) Determine the slope (m)

$m=\displaystyle\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ where two points that fall on the line are $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$

On the graph, two points are highlighted for us: (0,-4) and (2,2). Plug these into the formula:

$m=\displaystyle\frac{2-(-4)}{2-0}\\\\m=\displaystyle\frac{2+4}{2}\\\\m=\displaystyle\frac{6}{2}\\\\m=3$

Therefore, the slope of the line is 3. Plug this into $y=mx+b$ :

$y=3x+b$

2) Determine the y-intercept (b)

$y=3x+b$

Recall that the y-intercept occurs when x=0. Given the point (0,-4), the y-intercept is therefore -4. Plug this into $y=3x+b$ :

$y=3x+(-4)\\y=3x-4$

I hope this helps!

Answer:

1. $\frac{x}{x+3}+\frac{x+2}{x+5}$ = $\frac{2x^2+10x+6}{(x+3)(x+5)}\\$

2. $\frac{x+4}{x^2+5x+6}*\frac{x+3}{x^2-16}$ = $\frac{1}{(x+2)(x-4)}$

3. $\frac{2}{x^2-9}-\frac{3x}{x^2-5x+6}$ = $\frac{-3x^2-7x-4}{(x+3)(x-3)(x-2)}$

4. $\frac{x+4}{x^2-5x+6}\div\frac{x^2-16}{x+3}$ = $\frac{1}{(x-2)(x-4)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. $\frac{x}{x+3}+\frac{x+2}{x+5}$

Taking LCM of (x+3) and (x+5) which is: (x+3)(x+5)

$=\frac{x(x+5)+(x+2)(x+3)}{(x+3)(x+5)}\\=\frac{x^2+5x+(x)(x+3)+2(x+3)}{(x+3)(x+5)} \\=\frac{x^2+5x+x^2+3x+2x+6}{(x+3)(x+5)} \\=\frac{x^2+x^2+5x+3x+2x+6}{(x+3)(x+5)} \\=\frac{2x^2+10x+6}{(x+3)(x+5)}\\$

Prove closure: The value of x≠-3 and x≠-5 because if there values are -3 and -5 then the denominator will be zero.

2. $\frac{x+4}{x^2+5x+6}*\frac{x+3}{x^2-16}$

Factors of x^2-16 = (x)^2 -(4)^2 = (x-4)(x+4)

Factors of x^2+5x+6 = x^2+3x+2x+6 = x(x+3)+2(x+3) =(x+2)(x+3)

Putting factors

$=\frac{x+4}{(x+3)(x+2)}*\frac{x+3}{(x-4)(x+4)}\\\\=\frac{1}{(x+2)(x-4)}$

Prove closure: The value of x≠-2 and x≠4 because if there values are -2 and 4 then the denominator will be zero.

3. $\frac{2}{x^2-9}-\frac{3x}{x^2-5x+6}$

Factors of x^2-9 = (x)^2-(3)^2 = (x-3)(x+3)

Factors of x^2-5x+6 = x^2-2x-3x+6 = x(x-2)+3(x-2) =(x-2)(x+3)

Putting factors

$\frac{2}{(x+3)(x-3)}-\frac{3x}{(x+3)(x-2)}$

Taking LCM of (x-3)(x+3) and (x-2)(x+3) we get (x-3)(x+3)(x-2)

$\frac{2(x-2)-3x(x+3)(x-3)}{(x+3)(x-3)(x-2)}$

$=\frac{2(x-2)-3x(x+3)}{(x+3)(x-3)(x-2)}\\=\frac{2x-4-3x^2-9x}{(x+3)(x-3)(x-2)}\\=\frac{-3x^2-9x+2x-4}{(x+3)(x-3)(x-2)}\\=\frac{-3x^2-7x-4}{(x+3)(x-3)(x-2)}$
