X^2-7x-4=0
(x-7/2)^2-(7/2)^2-4=0
(x-7/2)^2-(7)^2/(2)^2-4=0
(x-7/2)^2-49/4-4=0
(x-7/2)^2+(-49-4*4)/4=0
(x-7/2)^2+(-49-16)/4=0
(x-7/2)^2+(-65)/4=0
(x-7/2)^2-65/4=0
(x-7/2)^2-65/4+65/4=0+65/4
(x-7/2)^2=65/4
sqrt[ (x-7/2)^2 ]=+-sqrt(65/4)
x-7/2=+-sqrt(65)/sqrt(4)
x-7/2=+-sqrt(65)/2
x-7/2+7/2=+-sqrt(65)/2+7/2
x=7/2+-sqrt(65)/2
x=[7+-sqrt(65)]/2
x1=[7-sqrt(65)]/2
x2=[7+sqrt(65)]/2

Write the equation of a line that is parallel to y = -x + 7
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

y= -x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

A line is parallel to another line if their slope is the same. In this case the slope is -1 (-x is basically -1x). So far we have y=-x+b (We dont know what b is yet). next we can insert the coordinate back into the equation y=-x+b where 1 is the y and -4 is the x.

We get...

y= -x+b

1= -(-4)+b

1=4+b

b=-3

Our final equation is y=-x-3

Hope this helped
