Complete the square x^2+6x-16=0

X=2 and x= -8
x^2+6x-16=0
1) Move the constant (-16) to the right of the equal sign: x^2+6x = 16 (becomes positive)
2) Make the left side a perfect trinomial by doing half of 6 (3) then squaring it (9). Add 9 to the 16: x^2+6x+9= 16+9. 
3) Factor the left side, then find the sum of the right side: (x+3)^2 = 25
4) Take the square root of both sides: x+3 =(+/-) 5 (remember it's both positive & negative).
The equation will look like x+3= - 5 and x+3=5

5) solve the two equations: x= -8 and x=2

When you put the x-values back into the problem, it should come out 0. 

Hope this helps

Let's solve your equation step-by-step:
x^2+6x-16=0
Factor the left side of the equation:(x-2)(x+8)=0
Set factors equal to 0: x-2=0 or x+8=0, x=2 or x=-8
Your answer is x=2 or x=-8, doesn't matter which, both are correct.
Hope this helps!:)

Answer:

The point slope form is y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1} )

The slope(m) can be calculated using \frac{y-y_{1} }{x-x_{1}}:

(x, y)=(4,-3)\\(x_{1} ,y_{1} )=(5,0)\\\\\frac{0-(-3)}{5-4} =\frac{0+3}{1} =\frac{3}{1} =3

Using Point One, the point-slope form is determined as:

y-(-3)=3(x-4)\\y+3=3(x-4)

The y-intercept(b) can be calculated as:

(5,0)\\y=3x+b\\0=3(5)+b\\0=15+b\\b=-15\\(0,-15)
