How do you solve this equation, 5s^2-14s-3=0

1 answer:

7 0

It's a quadratic equation. Solve it through factorisation.

5s^2 - 14s - 3 = 0
(5s + 1)(s - 3) = 0

5s + 1 = 0
or
s - 3 = 0

Therefore

s = -1/5
or
s = 3

What is the slope of the graphs and the equation?

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

The slope formula is used to find the slope of a line that joins two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂). Using this formula, the slope of the line is, m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁). We can use the same formula to find the slope of a line from its graph also.
