Answer:
-21
Step-by-step explanation:
I assume this is a 2 by 2 matrix.

determinant = -5 * 4 - 1 * 1 = -20 - 1 = -21
Answer:
x ∈ {-5, -1}
Step-by-step explanation:
Here's the solution using the quadratic formula:

The real zeros are -5 and -1.

There are many ways to check your answer. One of them is to look at the given quadratic, which has no changes of sign in its coefficients. (They are all positive.) That means there can be no positive real roots, so already you know that x=0.5 won't work.
Also, the constant in the quadratic is the product of the roots, For your roots, their product is -7/4, so even multiplying by 4 (the leading coefficient in the given quadratic), you don't get anything like 20.
Answer is a
You need to find the y-intercept (aka b). You can do that by simply looking where the graph intercepts with the Y-axis.
b= 1 (positive 1 and not negative)
Now we need to find the slope by the following
Slope aka m: (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)
Note: sometimes people say it’s rise/run which is the same thing as the previous formula.
Pick two points that fall on the graph. I chose (0,1) and (3,-4). Even though there are no numbers you can assume each square is a unit and count the squares.
Slope = (-4-1)/(3-0) = - 5/3
