Answer:  C) Find the factors of c that add up to b.

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

Explanation:

If we want to factor something in the form x^2+bx+c, then we look for two numbers that

  • Multiply to c
  • Add to b

-------------

Let's look at a specific example

Consider factoring x^2+5x+6

We need to find two numbers that...

  • Multiply to c = 6
  • Add to b = 5

Through trial and error, you should find the two numbers to be 3 and 2. This means it factors to (x+3)(x+2). The order of the factors doesn't matter.

You can use the FOIL rule or the box method to expand out (x+3)(x+2). You should get x^2+5x+6 again.

What is the slope? helpppp?
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

slope: -(9/8)

y-intercept: 7

equation: y = -(9/8)x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for the slope.

<em>m</em> (slope) = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Let:

(x₁ , y₁) = (8 , -2)

(x₂ , y₂) = (0 , 7)

Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables:

<em>m </em>= (7 - (-2))/(0 - 8)

<em>m</em> = (7 + 2)/(0 - 8)

<em>m</em> = 9/-8

Your slope is -(9/8)

Solve for the y-intercept. Plug in your slope into the slope intercept form:

y = mx + b

Let:

(x , y) = (0 , 7) & m = -(9/8)

Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables:

7 = -(9/8)(0) + b

Simplify:

7 = (-9/8 * 0) + b

7 = (0) + b

b = 7

Your y-intercept is 7.
