Cody was given two points (z 8) and
(5,5)
, on a line and asked to create a linear equation in standard
form. Cody's work is shown. Identify any errors and correct them.

Step-by-step explanation:

First error is: = - 3 ÷ = - 18  ( and ≠ )

Thus, slope m = - 18 and linear equation is

y - 5 =  - 18(x - )

y - 5 = - 18x + 12

y = - 18x + 17 slope intercept form

18x + y = 17 Standard form

First error is: = - 3 ( ) =

Second error is: Cody should multiply both sides of equation by 6

Standard form is 18x + y = 17

the correct answer option is (2x-3)(2x+3).

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the following expression and we are to factorize it:

we are to find such factors that when multiplied they give a result of 36 (9 x 4 = 36) and when added they give a result of 0.

the two such factors of 36 are negative six and postive six.

factorizing the given expression to get:

therefore, the correct factorization of is (2x-3)(2x+3).
