Answer:
3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the slope from the two points given
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (1- -2)/(2 - -2)
= (1+2)/(2+2)
= 3/4
I believe the answer is C
<h3>Answer:</h3>
±12 (two answers)
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
Suppose one root is <em>a</em>. Then the other root will be -3<em>a</em>. The product of the two roots is the ratio of the constant coefficient to the leading coefficient:
(<em>a</em>)(-3<em>a</em>) = -27/4
<em>a</em>² = -27/(4·(-3)) = 9/4
<em>a</em> = ±√(9/4) = ±3/2
Then the other root is
-3<em>a</em> = -3(±3/2) = ±9/2 . . . . . . the roots will have opposite signs
We know the opposite of the sum of these roots will be the ratio of the linear term coefficient to the leading coefficient: b/4, so ...
-(a + (-3a)) = b/4
2a = b/4
b = 8a = 8·(±3/2)
b = ±12
_____
<em>Check</em>
For b = 12, the equation factors as ...
4x² +12x -27 = (2x -3)(2x +9) = 0
It has roots -9/2 and +3/2, the ratio of which is -3.
For b = -12, the equation factors as ...
4x² -12x -27 = (2x +3)(2x -9) = 0
It has roots 9/2 and -3/2, the ratio of which is -3.
In this form, slope is simply the coefficient in front of <em>x.</em> Therefore, the slope of this graph is -1/4
First decimal = 40.
second decimal = .40
third decimal= 4.0
hope that helps :)
