A line includes the points (-3, 8)and (-1, 2). What is its equation in slope- intercept form

1 answer:

5 0

Solve for slope first:
m = $\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

m = $\frac{2-8}{-1-(-3)}$ = -3

then solve for b in y = mx + b

8 = -3(-3) + b
b = -1

y = -3x - 1

Solve x2 + 14x + 17 = –96 for x

jarptica [38.1K]

For this case we have to:

Given the quadratic equation of the form:

$ax ^ 2 + bx + c = 0$

The roots are given by:

$x = \frac {-b \pm \sqrt {b ^ 2-4 (a) (c)}} {2a}$

If we have: $x ^ 2 + 14x + 17 = -96$

We can rewrite it in the following way:

$x ^ 2 + 14x + 17 + 96 = 0\\x ^ 2 + 14x + 113 = 0$

Where:

$a = 1\\b = 14\\c = 113$

Where we have:

$x = \frac {-14 \pm \sqrt {(14) ^ 2-4 (1) (113)}} {2 (1)}$

$x = \frac {-14 \pm \sqrt {(196-452)}} {2}$

$x = \frac {-14 \pm \sqrt {-256}} {2}$

By definition: $\sqrt {-1} = i$

$x = \frac {-14 \pm \sqrt {256} i} {2}$

$x = \frac {-14 \pm16i} {2}$

$x = \frac {-14} {2} \pm \frac {16i} {2}$

$x = -7 \pm8i$

Thus, the roots are given by imaginary numbers:

$x_ {1} = - 7 + 8i\\x_ {2} = - 7-8i$

Answer:

$x_ {1} = - 7 + 8i\\x_ {2} = - 7-8i$
