15x²+16x+4 =0      (ax² +bx +c=0)

Δ = b²-4ac =256 - 4×15×4 =16

x1 = (-b+√Δ) / 2a = (-16+√16) / 30 =( -16+4) / 30 = -12/30 = - 2/5
x2 = (-b -√Δ) / 2a = (-16 -√16) / 30 = (-16 -4) /30 = -20/30 = -2/3

      15x² + 16x = -4
15x² + 16x + 4 = -4 + 4
15x² + 16x + 4 = 0
x = <u>-(16) +/- √((16)² - 4(15)(4))</u>
                       2(15)
x = <u>-16 +/- √(256 - 240)</u>
                     30
x = <u>-16 +/- √(16)
</u>              30
x = <u>-16 +/- 4</u>
            30
x = <u>-8 +/- 2</u>
          15
x = <u>-8 + 2</u>  or  x = <u>-8 - 2</u>
         15                  15
x = <u>-6</u>             x = <u>-10</u>
      15                   15
x = ⁻²/₅            x = ⁻²/₃

What is the solution to the system of equations below? HELP!!!! y = negative one-fourth x + 2 and 3 y = negative three-fourths x
Oxana [17]

Answer:

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write out equations

y = -1/4x + 2

3y = -3/4x - 6

Step 2: Substitution

3(-1/4x + 2) = -3/4x - 6

Step 3: Distribute

-3/4x + 6 = -3/4x - 6

From here, we can see that we have the same slope but different y-intercept. This means that the 2 lines are parallel and therefore never intersect.

Alternatively, you could graph the equations and see that the 2 lines are parallel and never intersect.

5) What problems have a negative slope?
Fantom [35]

A negative slope can be illustrated when a line that is trending downward from left to right, has a negative value.

<h3>What is a negative slope</h3>

It should be noted that a negative slope implies that two variables are negatively related.

This implies that when x increases, y decreases, and also when x decreases, y increases.

Graphically, a negative slope implies that as the line on the line graph moves from left to right, the line will fall.
