Write the polynomial that has factors of 2 and -6.

x^2 - 4x - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Factors are (x + 2) and (x - 6)

    (x +2)(x - 6)

    *multiply the first x by the second x and then by the -6

       x^2 - 6x

    * multiply the 2 by the second x and then the -6

         2x - 12

  * combine the two expressions

   x^2 - 6x + 2x - 12

  *simplify

   x^2 - 4x - 12

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form
