Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (4, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (x, - 6)

m = \frac{-6-1}{x-4} = 1

m = \frac{-7}{x-4} = 1 ( cross- multiply )

x - 4 = - 7 ( add 4 to both sides )

x = - 3 → A

Slope formula is m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

We know that slope is 1. So,

(-6-1)/(x-4) = 1

Then solve for x

-6-1 = x-4

x-4 = -7

x= -7+4

x= -3

What types of solutions does 6x^2 - 20x + 1 have?​
elena55 [62]

Answer:

2 real solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the determinant, which says that for a quadratic of the form ax² + bx + c, we can determine what kind of solutions it has by looking at the determinant of the form:

b² - 4ac

If b² - 4ac > 0, then there are 2 real solutions. If b² - 4ac = 0, then there is 1 real solution. If b² - 4ac < 0, then there are 2 imaginary solutions.

Here, a = 6, b = -20, and c = 1. So, plug these into the determinant formula:

b² - 4ac

(-20)² - 4 * 6 * 1 = 400 - 24 = 376

Since 376 is clearly greater than 0, we know this quadratic has 2 real solutions.
