The only item common to both terms is c so: bcd + ac = c(bd + a)
My interpretation is as follows:
Slope = rise/run or \(slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)
Or, if you have a straight line equation of the form y = m*x + c, then m is the slope.
More generally, if you have an equation of the form y = f(x), then the slope at any point is df(x)/dx
.
Note:
See the following:
"Right ABC has AB=3, BC=4, and AC=5. Square XYZW is inscribed in ABC with X and Y on AC, W on AB, and Z on BC. What is the side length of the square?"

0^0 isn't defined as it is ambiguous:
\(\lim_{x\rightarrow0}0^x=0\\\\\lim_{x\rightarrow0}x^0=1\)
Express it as ((-1/2)^-2)^(1/3)
