The slope of CD is

$m = \dfrac{6 - -4}{2 - 0} = 5$

The slope of the perpendicular bisector is the negative reciprocal,

$n = -1/m = - \dfrac 1 5$

The perpendicular bisector passes through M, the midpoint of CD

M =( (0+2)/2, (-4 + 6)/2) = (1, -1)

So point slope form for the perpendicular bisector is

$y - -1 = - \frac 1 5(x - 1)$

Solving for y gives slope intercept form.

$y = - \frac 1 5 x - \frac 4 5$

Not sure how to type that without spaces; we didn't have online homework back then.

Answer: y=(-1/5)x-4/5

Are these all correct?

Problem 1) Line n is the line of symmetry (not line o) because we can fold the lower half to match up with the upper half. The folding line is over line n.

Problem 2) I agree. Nice work on getting the correct answer. The folding line is a vertical line through the center

Problem 3) It's hard to say for sure, but I think the top left corner is NOT reflective over any line of symmetry no matter how you rotate it. So I would uncheck that box. I agree with your other choices though. Great job with those.

Use the discriminant to determine what type of roots the equations will have, and categorize the equations according to their ro

topjm [15]

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant of the quadratic equation $ax^2+bx+c=0$ :

$\Delta=b^2-4ac$

If Δ < 0, then the equation has two complex roots $x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt\Delta}{2a}$

If Δ = 0, then the equation has one repeated root $x=\dfrac{-b}{2a}[/tex If Δ > 0, then the equation has two discint roots [tex]x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt\Delta}{2a}$

$1.\ x^2-4x+2=0\\\\a=1,\ b=-4,\ c=2\\\\\Delta=(-4)^2-4(1)(2)=16-8=8>0,\ \bold{two\ distinct\ roots}\\\sqrt\Delta=\sqrt8=\sqrt{4\cdot2}=2\sqrt2\\\\x=\dfrac{-(-4)\pm2\sqrt2}{2(1)}=\dfrac{4\pm2\sqrt2}{2}=2\pm\sqrt2\\\\==============================\\\\2.\ 5x^2-2x+3=0\\\\a=5,\ b=-2,\ c=3\\\\\Delta=(-2)^2-4(5)(3)=4-60=-56$

$3.\ 2x^2+x-6=0\\\\a=2,\ b=1,\ c=-6\\\\\Delta=1^2-4(2)(-6)=1+48=49>0,\ \bold{two\ distinct\ roots}\\\sqrt\Delta=\sqrt{49}=7\\\\x=\dfrac{-1\pm7}{(2)(2)}\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-8}{4}=-2,\ x_2=\dfrac{6}{4}=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\==============================\\\\4.\ 13x^2-4=0\qquad\text{add 4 to both sides}\\\\13x^2=4\qquad\text{divide both sides by 13}\\\\x^2=\dfrac{4}{13}\to x=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{4}{13}},\ \bold{two\ distinct\ roots}\\\\==============================$

$5.\ x^2-6x+16=0\\\\a=1,\ b=-6,\ c=16\\\\\Delta=(-6)^2-4(1)(16)=36-64=-28$

$7.\ 4x^2+11=0\qquad\text{subtract 11 from both sides}\\\\4x^2=-11\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\\\x^2=-\dfrac{11}{4}\to x=\pm\sqrt{-\dfrac{11}{4}}\\\\x=\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{11}}{2}\ i,\ \bold{two\ complex\ roots}$
