Answer:

y=2x+14

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to find the slop of the line by dividing Y2-Y1 [6-(-2) and X2-X1 [-4-(-8)], which will be two once simplified. this is the slope. the equation is then y=2x+b. then, we must find b. in order to do this, we must insert two of the points from the ordered pairs. I inserted the points from the second one [-8=2(-4)+b] 2*-4=-8. 8+6=14. b=14. We must then plug in this to the original equation, and the final one will be y=2x+14.

(Hope this helped)

Use the slope formula and slope-intercept form Y=Mx+b to find the equation.
Y=2x + 14

Which equation does the graph below represent

OLEGan [10]

Y-intercept, where the graph crosses y-axiss is 0. that means in the equation: y = mx + b
b = 0
the m, is slope. looking at the graph you can see the points on the line are connect up 4 right 1. rise/run = slope = 4
y = 4x

Solve for x.

o-na [289]

2x+5=27

subtract 5 from both sides:
2x=22

divide by 2 on both sides:
x=11

Among all pairs of numbers who difference is 10, find a pair whose product is as small as possible. What is the minimum product?

dlinn [17]

Hmmm unless you can do negatives, I'd say 10 and 0. 10 minus 0 is 10 (which fits) and the product of 10 and zero IS zero. does that make sense?

Solving quadratic equation using the completing the square method. (a).x²+20x-12=0

irinina [24]

Answer:

$x = -10 + 4 \sqrt7 \ , \ x = -10 - 4 \sqrt7$

Step-by-step explanation:

x²+20x-12=0

a = 1, b = 20, c = -12

$x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2x}$

$x = \frac{-20 \pm \sqrt{448}}{2}\\\\x = \frac{-20 \pm \sqrt{8 \times 8 \times 7}}{2}\\\\x = \frac{-20 + 8\sqrt{7}}{2} \ , \ x = \frac{-20 - 8 \sqrt7}{2}\\\\x = \frac{-10 + 4\sqrt{7}}{1} \ , \ x = \frac{-10 - 4 \sqrt7}{1}\\\\x = -10 + 4 \sqrt7 \ , \ x = -10 - 4 \sqrt7$
