Answer:

See below and attached

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the graph we have:

Coordinates of JL are J(-7, 4), L(-4, 0)

Coordinates of MP are M(-10, 8), P(-1, -4)

Slope formula is:

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Slope of JL:

(0 - 4)/(-4-(-7)) = - 4 / 3

Slope of MP:

(-4 -8)/(-1- (-10)) = -12 / 9 = - 4/3

almond37 [142]

$4n^2-3n-7=0\\ \\ a=4, \ \ b=-3 \ \ c=-7\\ \\ \Delta = b^{2}-4ac = (-3)^{2}-4*4* (-7)= 9+112=121$

$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta }}{2a} =\frac{ 3-\sqrt{ 121}}{2*4}=\frac{ 3-11}{8}= \frac{-8 }{ 8}=-1 \\ \\x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta }}{2a} =\frac{ 3+\sqrt{ 121}}{2*4}=\frac{ 3+11}{8}= \frac{14 }{ 8}= \frac{7}{4}=1\frac{3}{4}$
