y = -x -2

Answer:

y = - x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, - 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 1, - 1)

m = \frac{-1+4}{-1-2} = \frac{3}{-3} = - 1 , thus

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (- 1, - 1 ), then

- 1 = 1 + c ⇒ c = - 1 - 1 = - 2

y = - x - 2 ← equation of line

PLEASE HELP FOR A BRAINLIEST!!!! Create your own example and explain how to solve Quadratic Equation using Quadratic Formula. Wh
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Create your own example and explain how to solve Quadratic Equation using Quadratic Formula.

The quadratic formula is used to solve quadratic equations. It is shown as   x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

A quadratic equation is generally shown in the form of ax^{2} +bx + c = 0

For example, if you saw the equation  7x^{2} + 3x + 20 = 0

7 would be a, 3 would be b, and 20 would be c.

To solve the equation above, you would fill in the quadratic formula as such, x=\dfrac{-3\pm\sqrt{(3)^2-4(7)(20)}}{2(7)}

Then you could solve for x.

2. What part in the Quadratic Formula is the discriminant?

The discriminant is the equation under the square root on the quadratic formula, b^{2} - 4ac

It is tells us whether there are two solutions, one solutions, or no solutions.

3.  How do you know the number of solutions based on the value of the discriminant?

To know the number of solutions based off of the value of the discriminant, you need to plug in your values. Using the example quadratic equation, 7x^{2} + 3x + 20 = 0

We will plug the values into the discriminant.

3^{2} - 4(7)(20) = -551

Now, if the discriminant is positive it has two real solutions. If the discriminant is zero the equation has no real-number solutions. And finally, if the discriminant is negative, the equation has one real solution. Because our discriminant is -551, the example equation has one real solution.

Hope this helps! (Please consider Brainliest)

-1.1x + 8.1x + 38 = -32
Setler79 [48]

X = -10

Explanation:

-1.1x + 8.1x + 38 = -32

Combine like terms : -1.1x + 8.1x

7x + 38 = -32

Subtract 38

7x = -70

Divide by 7

7x = -70/7

Answer:

x = -10

Find the rule and nth term for the sequence <br> 4, 7, 10, 13, 16
mariarad [96]
7-4=3
10-7=3
13-10=3
we can see that this is an arithmetic sequence with a difference of 3
the nth term=the first term +(n-1) times the difference
so a(n)=4+3(n-1)
