Answer:

x = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) + g(x) = x² - 2x + 6x + 4 = x² + 4x + 4, hence

x² + 4x + 4 = 0 ← This is a perfect square in the form

(x + a)² = x² + 2ax + a²

Hence 2a = 4 ⇒ a = 2, thus

(x + 2)² = 0

x+ 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2 ( 2 equal roots )

Value of x = - 2

Answer: y = - 0.4 x - 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation y=mx+b

m is the slope

x is *ANY* x coordinate

y is *ANY* y coordinate

b is y intercept or WHERE the point is on the Y AXIS

Lets look at the given:

Slope (m) is -2/5

Passes through point 15, -9/2

As you can see, the point goes through the Y axis at (-9/2)

Our equation is y = - 0.4 x - 4.5
