When a quadratic equation ax^2+bx+c has a double root, the discriminant,
D=b^2-4ac=0
Here
a=2,
b=b,
c=18
and
D=b^2-4ac=b^2-4*2*18=0
solve for b
b^2-144=0
=> b= ± sqrt(144)= ± 12
So in order that the given equation has double roots, the possible values of b are ± 12.
Answer:
The slope is -1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(4-5)/(6-3)
-1/3
