Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Check the value of the discriminant

Δ = b² - 4ac

• If b² - 4ac > 0 then roots are real

• If b² - 4ac = 0 roots are real and equal

• If b² - 4ac < 0 then roots are not real

given (x - a)(x - b) = k² ( expand factors )

x² - bx - ax - k² = 0 ( in standard form )

x² + x(- a - b) - k² = 0

with a = 1, b = (- a - b), c = -k²

b² - 4ac = (- a - b)² + 4k²

For a, b, k ∈ R then (- a - b)² ≥ 0 and 4k² ≥ 0

Hence roots of the equation are always real for a, b, k ∈ R

write the equation if the line in slope- intercept form that passes through (7,-4) with a slope of -1.
QveST [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  y = -x +3

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form can be a useful place to start.

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

You require the line ...

  y -(-4) = -1(x -7)

  y = -x +7 -4 . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses, add -4

  y = -x +3 . . . . . . . . . slope-intercept form
