Find the greatest common factor of the following monomials 26n5 12n2

The greatest common factor is 2

We first have to look for the largest number that goes into both equations. The factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12. None of 3, 4, 6, or 12 go into 26 evenly. So 2 is the largest number you can take out.

With the variables, we take out as many as the lowest number will let us. Since the smallest number of n's is 2 in the second term, we take that many.

y = -1x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -1x + b

5 = -1(-3) + b

5 = 3 + b

2 = b

y = -1x + 2
