Can it be a decimal? Only one I can think of is 1 X 31
Answer:
y = 1/2 x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the y intercept and the slope, so we can write the equation using the slope intercept form
y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
y = 1/2 x + 8
I'm assuming you need to evaluate/simplify the equation, so you need to isolate/get x by itself in the equation:
2(3x + 1) = 11 Divide by 2 on both sides
3x + 1 =
[11/2 or 5.5] Subtract by 1 on both sides
[make the denominator the same to combine fractions]
3x =
Divide by 3 on both sides
x =
"Classify the polynomial by the number of terms" means a term contains both the variables and its coefficient. For example a "monomial" has one term like
.
A binomial has 2 terms like 
A trinomial has 3 terms like 
And a polynomial has 4 or more terms.
So basically one can classify the type of polynomial by counting the number of terms in a given equation.
