Given:
The equation is:

To find:
The next step in simplifying the equation by using distributive property.
Solution:
Distributive property: According to this property if a, b and c are three real numbers, then

We have,

Using the distributive property, we get

It can be written as:

Therefore, the next step of the simplification is
.
Let the only force acting on the ball is the gravity (free-failing) and the ball was initially stationary
vo = 0
s = vot + 1/2 gt^2
s = 1/2 x 10 x (2.2) ^2 = 24.2 m
The slope is negative and is -16 / 8 = -2
The y intercept is at y = 16
General form is y = mx + c
m = -2 and c = 16 so we have :-
y = -2x + 16 Answer
First simplify the square roots:

Then simplify the last two terms:

Since 61 is prime, you can't take a rational root out of it.
Usually, we use the slope formula to find the slope of a line when we know two points on the line. But if we already know the slope of a line, we can use the slope formula to find a missing coordinate of a point on the line.
