Equation of the given line will be :
now, let's plug the value of x as the x - coordinate of the above point (-2 , 9) to check whether it lies on the line or not.
now, since value of isn't equal to the y - coordinate of the given point, so the point doesn't lies on the line.
It's 9/7 but you can try simplifying after that
Answer: twenty one decreased by eighteen or the difference of twenty one and eighteen
Using the quadratic formula
If this is just factoring, x^2 + x - 90 turns into this:
(x - 9)(x + 10)
If your trying to solve for x, we take the factored expression and set it equal to 0.
(x - 9)(x + 10) = 0
Set each binomial into two equations.
x - 9 = 0 and x + 10 = 0
Solve for x and we get two answers.
x = 9
x = -10
