Answer:

y = 3/2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of the line

Step 1: find slope

( 2 , -2) ( 4 , 1)

x_1 = 2

y_1 = -2

x_2 = 4

y_2 = 1

Insert the values into

m = (y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1)

m = ( 1 - (-2) / (4 - 2)

= ( 1 + 2) / ( 4 -2 )

= 3 / 2

m = 3/2

Step 2: substitute m into the equation

y = mx + c

y = 3/2x + c

Step 3: substitute any of the two points into the equation

Let's pick (4 , 1)

x = 4

y = 1

y = 3/2x + c

1 = 3/2(4) + c

1 = 3*4/2 + c

1 = 12/2 + c

1 = 6 + c

1 - 6 = c

c = 1 - 6

c = -5

Step 4 : substitute c into the equation

y = 3/2x + c

y = 3/2x - 5

The equation of the line is

y = 3/2x - 5

What dose a and x equal <br> 2³x 5- (√-1) a+ 5a - 3÷ x³
ser-zykov [4K]

The terms in which value of x when substituted leaves final value of p(x) = "0".

Here, x - 2 is factor. So value of x is 2.  

Substituting value of x we get,

p(x) = x3 - 3x + 5a

p(2) = 2*3 - 3(2) + 5a

0+ 8-6 + 5a

-2 = 5a

a= -0.4

Evaluate the expression described below if the number is 4. The difference between a number squared and the number. A. 0 B. 4 C.
svet-max [94.6K]
What the above statement is saying is:
If the number is 4, find the difference between the square of the number (the number is 4) and the number itself (the number is still 4).

The square of the number is:
The number^2
= 4^2
= 4 × 4
= 16

The difference between the square of the number and the number is:
The number^2 - The number
= 16 - 4
= 12

Hope this helps! :)
