Aline that includes the point ( - 4, - 1) has a slope of - 2. what is its equation in point-slope form?

Point slope form says the line through (a,b) with slope m is

y - b = m(x - a)

Here that's

y - - 1 = -2(x - -4)

y + 1 = -2(x + 4)

Point-Slope equation: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)  ; m is slope and (x₁ ,y₁) is the coordinate

y - (-1) = -2(x - (-4)

y + 1 = -2(x + 4)     simplified (two negatives make a positive)

- both graphs increase on their domain.

- the graphs of both functions have the same x-intercept.

- neither graph has a y-intercept.

answer is 8x+24

area of vanessa's patio = length × width

given, length = (3x² + 5x + 10)

width = (x² - 3x - 1)

area of vanessa's patio = (3x² + 5x + 10)(x² - 3x - 1)

= 3x²(x² - 3x - 1) + 5x(x² - 3x - 1) + 10(x² - 3x - 1)

= 3x⁴ - 9x³ - 3x² + 5x³ - 15x² - 5x + 10x² - 30x - 10

= 3x⁴ - 4x³ - 8x² - 35x - 10

hence, expression of vanessa's patio = (3x⁴ - 4x³ - 8x² - 35x - 10)
