🧮 algebra

1. The problem asks for equations of lines passing through the point $(2, -5)$ under different conditions. 2. (a) A line with slope $-3$ passing through $(2,-5)$:

1. The problem is to factor the quadratic expression $$x^2 + 5x + 6$$. 2. We look for two numbers that multiply to the constant term 6 and add up to the coefficient of the linear t

1. The problem is to factor the expression $x^2$. 2. Notice that $x^2$ is a perfect square since it is $x$ multiplied by itself.
