The point-slope form:
![y-y_1=m(x-x_1)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y-y_1%3Dm%28x-x_1%29)
We have the slope m = -2 and the point (6, -2). Substitute:
![y-(-2)=-2(x-6)\\\\\boxed{y+2=-2(x-6)}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y-%28-2%29%3D-2%28x-6%29%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cboxed%7By%2B2%3D-2%28x-6%29%7D)
Answer:
The difference of squares identity can be written:
A
2
−
B
2
=
(
A
−
B
)
(
A
+
B
)
We can complete the square and use this with
A
=
(
x
−
2
)
and
B
=
√

as follows:
0
=
x
