What is special about the factored form of answer N-16x2 - 1?
1 answer:
Answer:
<em>Both 16 and 1 are squares. This suggests using the formula for the difference of squares. Answer link.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Every time you have a difference in the format of
A2−B2 you can factor as (A−B)(A+B).
Then you have to identify if your quantity is the difference of two squared quantities.
It is. In fact we can write it as:
16x2−1=(4x)2−12
Then we can apply our rule

The point-slope form of the equation of a line is
where
is a point on the line, and
is the slope of the line.
We can use either one of the two given points as the point on the line.
We also need to find the slope. We can use the coordinates of the two given points to find the slope of the line.
The slope of the line that passes through points
and 
is
Let's find the slope using (-3, 5) as point 1 and (-1, 4) as point 2.
Now we use the point-slope formula with point 1 and the slope we found just above.
