Y = -4/5 x - 2
-9 = -4/5 x - 2
-4/5 x = -9 + 2 = -7
-4x = 5(-7) = -35
x = -35/-4 = 35/4

Answer:

2x² +5x -12 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

When p and q are roots of a quadratic, its factored form can be written as ...

(x -p)(x -q) = 0

Here, the roots are given as -4 and 3/2, so the factored form would be ...

(x -(-4))(x -(3/2) = 0

Multiplying by 2 gives us ...

(x +4)(2x -3) = 0

Expanding the product, we find the desired quadratic is ...

2x² +5x -12 = 0

What number "c" completes the square: x^2 - 14x + c

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To complete the square we use the formula:

$c=(\frac{b}{2} )^{2}$

So we can plug in 14 for b to find c.

$c=(\frac{14}{2} )^{2}\\\\c=(7 )^{2}\\c=49$

Now this equation can be factored into:

$(x-7)^{2}$
