Okay, let's see...
The problem is asking for a linear equation most likely in the form of y=mx+b
y is another way to say f(x)
<em>m = slope </em>
<em>b = y intercept </em>
Let's start with the y intercept first.
Y intercept means ' When does the line touch (intercept) the y axis.
In this case, if you look at the graph, the line <em>touches </em>the y axis at -1.
-1 will replaces b
To find the slope we are going to take 2 precise points from the graph.
Lets use <em>(0,-1)</em> and <em>(-6,4) </em>
To find the slope, we're going to use
4 - (-1) / -6 - 0
Solve, our slope is 5/-6
That is our m
Our final equation is
Given that,
An equation : -9c² +2c +3 = 0
To find,
Find the value of x.
Solution,
We have, -9c² +2c +3 = 0
We can solve it using the formula as follows :
Here, a = -9, b = 2 and c =3
Put the values,
So, the solution are -0.47 and 0.69.
