Remember you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides
expand by foiling or distributing

4x²-19x-5=-43x-41
add 43x to both sides and add 41 to both sides

4x²+24x+36=0
factor
facotr out of 4
4(x²+6x+9)=0
factor inside
what 2 numbers multiply to get 9 and add to get 6?
3 and 3
4(x+3)(x+3)=0
set to 0

x+3=0
x=-3

x=-3 is answer

Will give brainlest plz help!!!Which relation is a function?

Levart [38]

The correct answer is the graph in the top right corner because it is a constant function. The bottom left graph is also considered a function but is an absolute function. So both are technically correct.

The point nearest to the origin on a line is at (4, -4). Find the standard form of the equation of the line.

Scrat [10]

Just did a specific one of these; let's do the general case.

The point nearest the origin is (a,b).

The line from the origin through the point is

$bx - ay = 0$

The line we seek is perpendicular to this one. We swap the coefficients on x and y, negating one, to get the perpendicular family of lines. We set the constant by plugging in the point (a,b):

$ax + by = a^2 + b^2$
