The answer is B)
x2+2x−3=0
Factor left side of equation.
(x−1)(x+3)=0
Set factors equal to 0.
x−1=0 or x+3=0
x=1
or
x=−3
x =-5
------
1) Since the Formula of the Midpoint is:
2) So Let's plug it into the formula the values, for A, and B
3) So the x coordinate of the Midpoint is x =-5
<span>(16)m=−7,</span><span>b=2</span> where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
(17)<span>m=5,</span><span>b=4</span> where m is the slope and b is the <span>y-intercept
