Answer:

Distance from the point to the line will be \sqrt{5}m

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given the equation of the line is y = 2x\

So the equation of line will be y-2x = 0

Point from which we have to find the distance is (-2,1)

Distance from a point to line is given by d=\frac{Ax+By+C}{\sqrt{A^2+B^2}} , here A = -2 , B = 1 and C = 0

And point x = -2 and y = 1

So d=\frac{-2\times -2+1\times 1+0}{\sqrt{(-2)^2+1^2}}=\sqrt{5}m

So distance from the point to the line will be \sqrt{5}m

Write an equation in which the quadratic expression 3x^2+6x-24 equals 0. Show the expression in factored form and explain what y
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

3x² + 6x - 24 = 0

(3x - 6)(x + 4) = 0

x = -4 , x = 2 when y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

3x² + 6x - 24 = 0

(3x - 6)(x + 4) = 0

Means

3x - 6 = 0 ⇒ 3x = 6 ⇒ x = 6 ÷ 3 = 2

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = -4

The Parabola which represents the quadratic equation intersects x-axis at

points (2 , 0) and (-4 , 0)
