Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, use substitution to find slope

(1) = m(3) - 2

3 = m3

m = 1

With both the slope and y int, you can write it in y int form

y = 1x - 2

Convert that to standard form

-x + y = -2

Solve -2x^2 + 10x + 9 =0 by using completing the squares and give u r answer to two decimal places

adell [148]

<span>-2x^2 + 10x + 9 =0
multiply whole equation by -1
2x^2 -10x -9 =0

(sqrt2x)^2 -2(sqrt2x)(5/</span>sqrt2) -9=0
add (5/sqrt2)^2 on both sides
(sqrt2x)^2 -2(sqrt2x)(5/sqrt2) + (5/sqrt2)^2-9=(5/sqrt2)^2

a^2-2ab+b^2=(a-b)^2
(sqrt2x - 5/sqrt2)^2=(5/sqrt2)^2+9

(sqrt2x - 5/sqrt2)^2=21.5

taking squareroot on both sides

sqrt2x - 5/sqrt2 = +-4.64
so
sqrt2x - 5/sqrt2 = +4.64 or sqrt2x - 5/sqrt2 = -4.64
sqrt2x = 4.64 + 5/sqrt2 sqrt2x = -4.64 + 5/sqrt2
sqrt2x =8.18 sqrt2x = -1.1045
x=8.18/sqrt2 x= -1.1045/sqrt2
x=5.78 x=-0.781
