One number is 2 more than another. the difference between their squares is 60 what are the numbers

Expand (x+2)^2: x^2 + 4x + 4 : remember that (a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2
So: x^2 + 4x + 4 - x^2 = 60

Abit confused about what you mean, but i think you might be referring to slope intercept form: y = mx + bin that case b, or the y intercept is already given.(0,-1)find the slope by using the formulay2 - y1/x2 - x1the final slope will be 4/2, equivalent to 2.now your equation should look like thisy = 4/2x -1sorry if this didn’t you out!
