Answer (<u>assuming it can be in slope-intercept form)</u>:
y = -x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
When knowing the slope of a line and its y-intercept, you can write an equation to represent it in slope-intercept form, or y = mx + b format. Substitute the m and b for real values.
1) First, find the slope of the equation, or m. Pick any two points from the line and substitute their x and y values into the slope formula, . I chose the points (0, -1) and (-1, 0):
Thus, the slope is -1.
2) Now, find the y-intercept, or b. The y-intercept of a line is the point at which the line crosses the y-axis. By reading the graph, we can see that the line intersects the y-axis at the point (0,-1), therefore that must be the y-intercept.
3) Now, substitute the found values into the y = mx + b formula. Substitute -1 for m and -1 for b:
Answer:
- there are 4 complex solutions
- 3 real zeros and 2 complex zeros
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Descarte's rule of signs tells you there are 0 positive real roots and 0 or 2 negative real roots. (for positive x, signs are ++++ so have no changes; for negative x, signs are ++-+, so have 2 changes.) A graph shows no real roots.
2. There are 3 sign changes in the given polynomial, so 3 or 1 positive real roots. When the sign of x is changed, there are 2 sign changes, so 0 or 2 negative real roots. A graph shows 2 negative and one positive real root (for a total of 3), so the remaining 2 roots are complex.
