(-3,-5)(2,4)
slope(m) = (4 - (-5) / (2 - (-3) = (4 + 5) / (2 + 3) = 9/5
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = 9/5
(2,4)...x1 = 2 and y1 = 4
sub
y - 4 = 9/5(x - 1)....this is the correct answer
the student figured the slope wrong....it is 9/5...not -9/5
To solve for a variable, you need to get it (x) by itself.
2x² - 4x + 5 = 6 Subtract 6 from both sides
2x² - 4x - 1 = 0 Plug this into the Quadratic Formula
a = 2 , b = -4 , c = -1
x =

Plug in your values
x =

x =

Simplify
x =

Simplify by removing a 2 from every term
x =

Simplify by taking the fraction apart
x =

Change

to 1

17+7x=x+5
6x=-12
x=-2
Hope it helps you
If the center of town is the origin then 4 blocks west and 1 block south would be 4 blocks to the left and 1 block down or (-4, -1) house 3 block east and 2 blocks north would be 3 blocks to the right and 2 blocks up or (3, 2) use the distance formula to find the distance between two points. That's all I know! hope this helps!~ just remember to use the distance formula to find the distance between two points.
It would be about 17, I think
