Step 1: Find the slope:
This gives you 
, but we need to find b.
To find b, substitute in one (x,y) pair and it doesn't matter which one. I'll go with (4,-2):
![\begin{aligned}-2&=-\dfrac{3}{2}(4)+b\\[0.5em]-2&=-6+b\\[0.5em]4&=b\end{aligned}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Baligned%7D-2%26%3D-%5Cdfrac%7B3%7D%7B2%7D%284%29%2Bb%5C%5C%5B0.5em%5D-2%26%3D-6%2Bb%5C%5C%5B0.5em%5D4%26%3Db%5Cend%7Baligned%7D)
Now take that b-value and plug in into the slope-intercept form:
It's always a good idea to toss in the other x-value from the other point, to make sure it checks out.
Answer:
x₁ = -4
x₂ = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
x²+ x + 12 = 0
x = {-1±√((1²)-(4*1*-12))} / (2*1)
x = {-1±√(1+48)} / 2
x = {-1±√49} / 2
x = {-1±7} / 2
x₁ = {-1-7} / 2 = -8/2 = -4
x₂ = {-1+7} / 2 = 6/2 = 3
Check:
x₁
-4² + (-4) - 12 = 0
16 - 4 - 12 = 0
x₂
3² + 3 - 12 = 0
9 + 3 - 12 = 0
Answer:
Option (B)
Step-by-step explanation:
From the figure attached,
ΔBCD and ΔACE are the similar triangles.
Therefore, by the property of similar triangles, corresponding sides of these similar triangles will be proportional.
AB + 6 = 24
AB = 18
Option (B) will be the answer.
Answer: P=47 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you have to find the other side lengths. Two of the sides are equal to 20 because this is a rectangle. The first blank would be 20 because 20 times the other side length is equal to 70. Then you would divide 70 by 20 which would equal x. x would equal 3.5 in. Then the perimeter would be:
2(20)+2(3.5)=P
P=47 inches
