The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have the points A(-6, 6) and B(12, 3). Substitute:

m=\dfrac{3-6}{12-(-6)}=\dfrac{-3}{18}=-\dfrac{3:3}{18:3}=-\dfrac{1}{6}

Therefore we have y=-\dfrac{1}{6}x+b.

Put the coordinates of the point B to the equation:

3=-\dfrac{1}{6}(12)+b

3=-2+b          <em>add 2 to both sides</em>

5=b\to b=5

Answer:

m=-\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\b=5

What are the solutions of 3x^2-x+4=0
guajiro [1.7K]
3x² -x+4=0

We can use quadratic formula
a=3, b= -1, c=4
 x=  \frac{-b+/- \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a}  &#10;\\ \\ x= \frac{1+/- \sqrt{1-4*3*4} }{2*3} &#10;\\ \\ x =  \frac{1+/- \sqrt{-47} }{6} &#10;&#10;This equation does not have real  roots, it has only 2 imaginary roots.

x= \frac{1+ \sqrt{47}i }{6} &#10;\\ \\ x=  \frac{1- \sqrt{47}i }{6}

Westkost [7]

SOS:

Answer:

Take the square root of 36 and subtract 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+4x=32\\(\frac{1}{2}*4=2; 2^2=4) : x^2+4x+4=36\\\sqrt{(x+2)^2}=\sqrt{36}\\ x+2=±6: -2+6=4, -2-6=-8
