Just invert it like:

There you have your common denominator! Don't forget to multiply the numerator as well.
If the discriminant is a positive number, there will be 2 possible solutions. If you replace the entire section of b²-4ac with 16, you will see that the equation becomes; (-b+-√16)/2a --> leading to an answer with the + and another with the -.
If the discriminant is 0, there will be 1 possible solution, (again replace this into the discriminant value) (-b)/2a ---> this formula is used to also find the x coordinates of a vertex, fyi.
If the discriminant is a negative number, there will be no solution (since squareroot of a negative number is not possible)
Hope I helped :)

hlo sorry I don't know the answer can't understand the question !!

They have given you the equation for the trend line.
y=1.5(x)-1
Since the graph starts at 2000, 2016 -2000 =16
So you need to find y at x=16
y=1.5(16)-1
y=24-1
y=23
