What is the equation of this line?

One way to write a line is y=mx+b, where b is a number, m is the slope of the line, and y and x are variables that you can plug numbers into. We know that we have two points, (0,5) and (10,0). To find the slope of a line, we can use the equation
\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} =  \frac{y_{1}-y_{2}}{x_{1}-x_{2}}
Plugging this in for our points, we get \frac{0-5}{10-0} = -5/10=-1/2 as our slope (we get -1/2 by dividing both -5 and 10 by 5 from the previous fraction), making our equation y=(-1/2)x+b. Plugging a point in to find out what b is, we get 0=(-1/2)10+b=-5+b. Adding 5 to both sides to separate the b, we get 5=b, making our equation y=(-1/2)x+5. To find out what x is for (x,2), since the y value comes second, we can plug in 2 into our equation to get 2=(-1/2)x+5. Since we want to solve for x, we have to separate it. Subtracting 5 from both sides, we get -3=(-1/2)x. Since we can multiply -1/2 by its reciprocal (switching the numerator and denominator) to get 1 (and therefore x on the right sides as 1*x=x), we multiply both sides by -2 to get 6=x, making the point (6,2)

If a polynomial function f(x) has roots –8, 1, and 6i, what must also be a root of f(x)? A. –6
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

-6i

Step-by-step explanation:

Complex roots always come in pairs, and those pairs are made up of a positive and a negative version. If 6i is a root, then its negative value, -6i, is also a root.

If you want to know the reasoning, it's along these lines: to even get a complex/imaginary root, we take the square root of a negative value. When you take the square root of any value, your answer is always "plus or minus" whatever the value is. The same thing holds for complex roots. In this case, the polynomial function likely factored to f(x) = (x+8)(x-1)(x^2+36). To solve that equation, you set every factor equal to zero and solve for the x's.

x + 8 = 0

x = -8

x - 1 = 0

x = 1

x^2 + 36 = 0

x^2 = -36 ... take the square root of both sides to get x alone

x = √-36 ... square root of an imaginary number produces the usual square root and an "i"

x = ±6i
