What is the equation of the line that is parallel to y-3x=2 and that passes through (6,1)?

Artemon [7]

Try this solution (analytic method):

1. if new line is parallel to the given one (y=3x+2) it means the new line has a form y=3x+b, where b - number.

2. In order to calculate 'b', it need to substitute the coordinates of point (6;1) into the equation of the new line:

1=3*6+b, ⇒ b=-17.

3. If to make up the equation of the new line:

y=3x-17

Which of the following cannot be solved using the quadratic formula?

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic formula is used only to solve the quadratic equations .

Means the equation of the form

$ax^{2} +bx+c=0$

In this the x^2 part is must because that only makes the equation a quadratic.

Looking at the four options given to you , only the option C has the missing x^2 term, which makes it a linear equation and hence the quadratic formula cannot be applied there .

So the right option for your question with the quadratic formula is
