Answer:
The line equation in slope-intercept form is:
Hence, option D is true.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the points
- (0, 4)
- (5, 2)
Finding the slope between the points
As the y-intercept is obtained by setting the value x = 0.
As we know that when x = 0, the vale of y-intercept y = 4
so the y-intercept is b = 4.
As the slope-intercept form is
substituting the slope m = -2/5 and the y-intercept b=4
Therefore, the line equation in slope-intercept form is:
Hence, option D is true.
Answer:
w= 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Square both sides:
-4w +61= (w -4)²
Expand:
-4w +61= w² -2(w)(4) +4²
-4w +61= w² -8w +16
Simplify:
w² -8w +16 +4w -61= 0
w² -4w -45= 0
Factorize:
(w -9)(w +5)= 0
w -9= 0 or w +5= 0
w= 9 or w= -5 (reject)
Note:
-5 is rejected since we are only taking the positive value of the square root here. If the negative square root is taken into consideration, then w= -5 would give us -9 on both sides of the equation.
<u>Why </u><u>do </u><u>we </u><u>use </u><u>negative </u><u>square </u><u>root?</u>
When solving an equation such as x²= 4,
we have to consider than squaring any number removes the negative sign i.e., the result of a squared number is always positive.
In the case of x²= 4, x can be 2 or -2. Thus, whenever we introduce a square root, a '±' must be used.
However, back to our question, we did not introduce the square root so we should not consider the negative square root value.
