Answer:

x=2\textrm{ or } x=-\frac{4}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The equation is given as:

3x^{2}-2x-8=0\\3x^{2}-6x+4x-8=0\\3x(x-2)+4(x-2)=0\\(x-2)(3x+4)=0\\\\x-2=0\textrm{ or }3x+4=0\\x-2+2=0+2 \textrm{ or }3x+4-4=0-4\\x=2\textrm{ or }3x=-4\\x=2\textrm{ or}\\x=-\frac{4}{3}

Therefore, the possible values of x are 2 and -\frac{4}{3}

explain why the graph of the function y = 3x + 40 will never intersect the graph of the function y = 3x + 35 .
AlladinOne [14]
These two graphs have the same slope (3), and are therefore parallel. Parallel lines never intersect each other.

write and equation of the line parallel to the line  2 x + 4 y = 20 2 x + 4 y = 20 and containing the point  ( −
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope intercept form as

y = mx + c

Where

m represents the slope of the line

c represents the y intercept

The equation of the given line is

2x + 4y = 20

4y = - 2x + 20

Dividing through by 4, it becomes

y = - x/2 + 5

Comparing with the slope intercept form, slope = - 1/2

If two lines are parallel, it means that they have the same slope. Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (- 6, 3) is - 1/2

To determine the y intercept, we would substitute m = - 1/2, x = - 6 and y = 3 into y = mx + c. It becomes

3 = - 1/2 × - 6 + c

3 = 3 + c

c = 3 - 3 = 0

The equation becomes

y = - x/2
