Answer:

\huge{ \boxed{ \bold{g =  - 2}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find g we have to use the formula for finding the slope of the line passing through two points that's

m =  \frac{y_2 -y_ 1}{x_2 -x_1 }  \\

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are (g, -1) and (2, 5) and m = 3/2

We substitute it into the equation and find g

That's

\frac{3}{2}  =  \frac{5 -  - 1}{2 - g}  \\  \frac{3}{2}  =  \frac{5 + 1}{2 - g }  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \frac{3}{2}  =  \frac{6}{2 - g}  \\  \\ 3(2 - g) = 6(2) \\ 6 - 3g = 12 \\  - 3g = 12 - 6 \\  - 3g = 6 \\  \\  \frac{ - 3g}{ - 3}  =  \frac{6}{ - 3}  \\  \\ g =  - 2

We have the final answer as

<h3>g = - 2</h3>

Hope this helps you

What is the solution set of the quadratic inequality 6x2+1&lt;0
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Solution set of the quadratic equation is, Empty set

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic equation: 6x^2+1>0  

Subtraction property of equality states that you subtract the same number to both sides of an equation.

Subtract both sides by 1 we get;

6x^2+1-1>0-1

Simplify:

6x^2>-1

Division property of equality states that you divide the same number to both sides of an equation.

Divide both sides by 6 we get;

\frac{6x^2}{6} >\frac{-1}{6}

Simplify:

x^2>\frac{-1}{6}

For any x in real number there does not exist any number x which satisfy

x^2>\frac{-1}{6} , therefore, there is no solution for this set of the quadratic inequality or in other word we can say that set of the solution is Empty set.
