Answer:
The sum of reciprocals is 2/3.
You don't need complex numbers to solve this, but if you try to find a and b you will need complex numbers.
Step-by-step explanation:
a+b = 2
a*b = 3
1/a + 1/b = x
(a*b)*(1/a + 1/b) = (a*b)x
b + a = (a*b)(x)
2 = 3x
x = 2/3
b = 2 - a
a*(2 - a) = 3
-a^2 + 2a = 3
-a^2 + 2a - 3 = 0
a^2 - 2a + 3 = 0
let's solve the quadratic equation
a^2 - 2a + 3 = a^2 - 2a + 1 + 2 = (a - 1)^2 + 2 = 0
(a - 1)^2 = -2

these options correspond to a and b from the original question.
Answer: The equation is y= -2x -4
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope intercept form is like y=mx+b so we know the slope which is m but we just need to find the y intercept.
and we will use the given coordinates to find the y intercept by putting in the x and y coordinates into the formula y=mx + b
-6= -2(1) + b
-6= -2 + b
+2 +2
b= -4
