Answer:

y=mx+c

we will find c

0=(-2)(-2)+c

c=-4

y=-2x+(-4)

y=-2x-4

2x+y+4=0

Answer:

y = -2x -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line, and b is the y-intercept. We are told that the slope of the line is -2, so we can start with

y = mx + b

y = -2x + b

We can figure out the value of b by plugging in the coordinates of the point given (-2, 0)

0 = -2(-2) + b

0 = 4 + b

Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation

-4 = b

Then plug that value of b back into the equation above:

y = -2x + (-4) or y = -2x -4

Need help with a system of equations

Answer:

$\boxed{x - y = -2\sqrt{7}}$

Given:

$x + y = 4 \\ \\ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} = 22 \\ \\ {x}^{4} = {y}^{4} - 176 \sqrt{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$= > {x}^{4} = {y}^{4} - 176 \sqrt{7} \\ \\ = > {x}^{4} - {y}^{4} = - 176 \sqrt{7} \\ \\ = > {( {x}^{2}) }^{2} - { ({y}^{2}) }^{2} = - 176 \sqrt{7} \\ \\ = > ( {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} )( {x}^{2} - {y}^{2} ) = - 176 \sqrt{7} \\ \\ = > ( {x}^{2} + {y}^{2}) (x + y)(x - y) = - 176 \sqrt{?} \\ \\ = > 22 \times 4(x - y) = - 176 \sqrt{7} \\ \\ = > 88(x - y) = - 176 \sqrt{7} \\ \\ = > x - y = - \frac{176 \sqrt{7} }{88} \\ \\ = > x - y = - 2 \sqrt{7}$
