Factor this polynomial expression. 3x2 - 12x + 12

(3x-6)(x-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor this expression, you should divide the 12x into parts.

3x - 6x - 6x +12 works,

so factor 3x^2 and -6x = 3x(x-2)

then factor  6x and 12 to match the first expression, -6(x-2).

Both expressions have (x-2) in common, so you can factor the two resulting expressions: (3x-6)(x-2).

The slope is -5

y intercept is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the equation for y

5x+y =-2

Subtract 5x from each side

5x+y -5x = -5x-2

y = -5x-2

This is in slope intercept form

y = mx+b  where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

The slope is -5 and the y intercept is -2
