Answer:
5x -7y = 21
Step-by-step explanation:
A sketch can convince you that BC is a transversal perpendicular to parallel lines AB and CD. The question asks for an equation for CD, so we just need to write the equation of a line through D that is parallel to AB.
One way to do this is to equate the slopes of the parallel lines:
∆y/∆x for AB = ∆y/∆x for CD
(y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1) = (y -2)/(x -7) . . . . . . where (x1, y1) = A; (x2, y2) = B; (7, 2) = D
(4 -(-1))/(1 -(-6)) = (y -2)/(x -7)
5(x -7) = 7(y -2) . . . . . . . . . . . . . cross multiply
5x -7y = 21 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 35 -7y, simplify

Note that the graph shows the line CD is named "b", and its equation is shown at upper left. Multiplying that equation by -1 gives the one shown here.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a = 3
b = 3
c = 1
Discriminate = sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)
Discriminate = sqrt(9 - 4*3*1)
Discriminate = sqrt(9 - 12)
Discriminate = sqrt(-3)
What negative value means that there are no real roots and the y intercept = 1. You should always graph this kind of question, which I am doing for you. I use Desmos which is a very handy program.
You should notice that the minimum is above the x axis. That means there are no real roots, just as the discriminate tells you.
