Answer:
Its either 2(A+7=5) or 2(A+7) =5
Find the factors from the roots, then multiply the factors together.

In can be less mental effort if the equation is multiplied by -1 first.
.. x^2 -10x +8 = 0
.. x^2 -10x +25 +8 -25 = 0
.. (x -5)^2 = 17
.. x -5 = ±√17
.. x = 5 ±√17
The values of x that satisfy the given equation are
.. x = 5 -√17 ≈ 0.877
.. x = 5 +√17 ≈ 9.123
A) Slope: (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
You can use point (-1, -6) and (0, -8)
Slope = (-8 - -6) /(0 - -1) = (-8+6)/(0+1) = -2/1 = -2.
Slope = -2.
b) Point (0, -8) is the point such that x = 0, and y = -8, this point represents the vertical intercept of the equation. The point where the line cuts the y axis.
