The value of r so the line that passes through (-5,2) and (3,r) has a slope of -1/2 is -2

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that line is passing through point (-5, 2) and (3, r)

Slope of the line is \frac{-1}{2}

Need to determine value of r.

Slope of a line passing through point \left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right) \text { and }\left(x_{2}, y_{2}\right)  is given by following formula:

\text { Slope } m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}  --- eqn 1

\text { In our case } x_{1}=-5, y_{1}=2, x_{2}=3, y_{2}=\mathrm{r} \text { and } m=-\frac{1}{2}

On substituting the given value in (1) we get

\begin{array}{l}{-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{r-2}{3-(-5)}} \\\\ {\text { Solving the above expression to get value of } r} \\\\ {=>-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{r-2}{3+5}} \\\\ {=>-8=\frac{r-2}{3+5}} \\\\ {=>-8=2(r-2)} \\\\ {=>-8=2 r-4} \\\\ {=>2 r=-8+4} \\\\ {=>2 r=-4} \\\\ {=>r=\frac{-4}{2}=-2}\end{array}

Hence the value of "r" is -2

What is the complete factorization of the polynomial below x^3+2x^2+4x+8
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

c) (x + 2)(x + 2i)(x - 2i)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^3 + 2x^2 + 4x + 8

= (x^3 + 2x^2) + (4x + 8)

= x^2( x + 2) + 4(x + 2)

= (x + 2)(x^2 + 4)

= (x + 2)(x^2 - 4i^2)  ---------------------------->(i^2 = -1)

= (x + 2)(x + 2i)(x - 2i)
