Which of the following is the equation of a linr that passes through the points. (1,6) and (2,1)

i'm assuming it's looking for the missing length, which should be 4cm

hope this !

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:   x (x+6)^2, choice b

discussion:

factor x out of the equation:

x^3 + 12x^2 + 36x = x (x^2 + 12x + 36).

note that 6+6 = 12 and 6*6 = 36 so the above factors into:

x (x+6)^2

which is choice b
