Weird question wording. I take it should mean that this is a quadratic equation with solutions of x = -5 and x = 8. Then these are the factors: (x+5) and (x-8).
 So

(x+5)(x-8) = 0 is the equation because x = -5 and x = 8 can make left-side equal to 0. But we expand so it becomes x² - 3x - 40 = 0

One diagonal of a rhombus has endpoints (-11, -9) and (-5, -3).
valina [46]

Answer:

(-10, -8) and (-6, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular

If two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is equal to -1

m1*m2=-1

step 1

Find the slope of the given diagonal

we have

(-11, -9) and (-5, -3)

m=(-3+9)/(-5+11)

m=-6/6=-1

Find the slope of the other diagonal

we have

m1=-1

Find m2

m1*m2=-1

(-1)*m2=-1

m2=1

step 2

Verify the slope of each of the endpoints of the other diagonal

The slope of the other diagonal must be equal to 1

so

case a) (-10, -4) and (-6, -8)

m=(-8+4)/(-6+10)

m=-4/4=-1

therefore

The points of case a) cannot be the end-points of the other diagonal

case b) (-8, -3) and (-5, -6)

m=(-6+3)/(-5+8)

m=-3/3=-1

therefore

The points of case b) cannot be the end-points of the other diagonal

case c) (-8, -4) and (-8, -8)

m=(-8+4)/(-8+8)

m=-4/0 -----> undefined

therefore

The points of case c) cannot be the end-points of the other diagonal

case d) (-10, -8) and (-6, -4)

m=(-4+8)/(-6+10)

m=4/4=1

therefore

The points of case d) can be the end-points of the other diagonal

This is a tough one. Thanks to everyone who helps
VladimirAG [237]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello there!

A good first step is to fill the t=blanks with 2 and 4.

Then proceed as follows:

3 |2x+4|=24\\3(2x+4)=24\\2x+4=\frac{24}{3} \\2x+4=8\\2x=8-4\\2x=4\\x=2

And there you are! Feel free to comment with questions, and have a grwat day!

It's a bit tedious, but it's just a bunch of factoring and manipulation.

Complete the point-slope equation of the line through (-8,-8)(−7,9)
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

y-9 = 17(x+7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Points given (-8, -8) and (-7, 9)

Point-slope is the general form y-y₁=m(x-x₁)

<u>Finding the value of m using the given points:</u>

  • m= (9 - (-8))/(-7 - (-8)
  • m = 17/1= 17

<u>Completing the given equation using point 2:</u>

  • y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)
  • y - 9 = 17(x - (-7))
  • y - 9 = 17(x+7)
