X^2-4x-32=0

(x+a)(x+b)

x^2-(a+b)x+ab

a+b=4
ab=-32

a=-b+4
(-b+4)b=-32

-b^2+4b=-32
b^2-4b-32=0
b=8,-4

If b=8, a=-4
If b=-4, a= 8

Plug in a and b to (x+a)(x+b)
x= -4, 8

Write the slope intercept

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

b = 4,

m = 4/3,

y = 4x/3 + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see the line intercepts the x-axis in (-3,0) and the y-axis in (0,4). So, using the fact that the line equation in the slope-intercept form is:

$y = mx+b$
