Slope = change in y / change in x

= (8 - -3) / (1 - 2) = (8 + 3) / ( 1 - 2)

= 11 / -1

= -11

Slope is negative.

Solve 169x^2-42.25=0 by using square roots?<br><br> NEED HELP!!!

jekas [21]

Answer:

x = 1/2 , x = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation;

169x² - 42.25

Find:

Solution of equation using square root

Computation:

169x² - 42.25

We know that 13² = 169 and 6.5² = 42.25

So,

[13x]² - [6.5]²

a² - b² = (a + b)(a - b)

So,

[13x]² - [6.5]² = [13x + 6.5][13x - 6.5]

So,

13x + 6.5 = 0 , 13x - 6.5 = 0

x = 6.5 / 13 , x = -6.5 / 13

x = 1/2 , x = -1/2
