Answer:
The solutions are:
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the following quadratic equation
We can rewrite the equation as follows
Now we use the quadratic formula to solve the equation
For an equation of the form the quadratic formula is:
In this case:
Then:
<h2>Answer:</h2>
y = x + 3
As shown in the graph, the line is a straight line. Therefore, the general equation of a straight line can be employed to derive the equation of the line.
The general equation of a straight line is given by:
y = mx + c <em>or </em>-------------(i)
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) -----------------(ii)
Where;
y₁ is the value of a point on the y-axis
x₁ is the value of the same point on the x-axis
m is the slope of the line
c is the y-intercept of the line.
Equation (i) is the slope-intercept form of a line
Steps:
(i) Pick any two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) on the line.
In this case, let;
(x₁, y₁) = (0, 3)
(x₂, y₂) = (4, -2)
(ii) With the chosen points, calculate the slope <em>m</em> given by;
m =
m =
m =
(iii) Substitute the first point (x₁, y₁) = (0, 3) and m = into equation (ii) as follows;
y - 3 = (x - 0)
(iv) Solve for y from (iii)
y - 3 = x
y = x + 3 [This is the slope intercept form of the line]
Where the slope is and the intercept is 3
