Mathematics

Katen [24]3 years ago

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 2x − 8 = 0

What 2 numbers multiply to -8 and add to 2

4*-2 = -8

4-2 = 2

(x+4) (x-2)=0

Using the zero product property

x+4 =0         x-2=0

x+4-4 =0-4      x-2+2=0+2

x = -4               x=2

We want the sum of the solutions

-4+2 = -2

Write the equation of the line passing through the points (-7,5) and (-5,9):
y-5= \dfrac{9-5}{-5-(-7)} (x-(-7)) \\ y-5= \dfrac{4}{2}(x+7) \\ y-5=2(x+7).
You also have another two points (-3,13) and (-1,17). Look whether coordinates of these points satisfy the line equation:

1. For (-3,13) you have
 13-5=2(-3+7) \\ \{8=8\};

2. For (-1,17) you have
 17-5=2(-1+7) \\ \{12=12\}.

Conclusion: All four points lie on the line y-5=2(x+7), so <span>the relationship shown by the data is linear.</span>

Answer: Correct choice is D.<span />
