Expression A: 3(x+2) Expression B: 3x+6
Which statement does not show that these expressions are equivalent?
A. Both expressions involve addition
B. 3(x+2) can be rewritten as 3x+6 using the distributive property.
C. The expressions name the same number regardless of the value of x.
D. Substituting any value of x makes the expression equivalent.

b

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b
