Answer:

y = 3/4x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

If you write the equation in slope-intercept form, you will need the slope(m) and the y-intercept(b):

y = mx + b

To solve this, you first need to know the slope of the line in the given equation. In order to do this, change it to slope-intercept form for easy analyzation:

-3x + 4y = 4

= 4y = 3x + 4

= y = 3/4x + 1

Now, you know the slope(m) is 3/4, so you have this much of the slope-intercept equation:

y = 3/4x + b

At this point, you need to find the y-intercept. This can be done by plugging in the given point in the equation and solving for b:

using (4, 0) and y = 3/4x + b,

(0) = 3/4(4) + b

0 = 3 + b

b = -3

So, that means that the equation for the line is:

y = 3/4x - 3

Write the coeeficientes of the polynomial in order:

| 1   - 5   6   - 30

------------------------

After some trials you probe with 5

   | 1   - 5    6     - 30
   |

5 |        5      0       30
-----------------------------
   1    0      6        0 <---- residue

Given that the residue is 0, 5 is a root.

The quotient is x^2 + 6 = 0, which does not have a real root.

Therefore, 5 is the only root. You can prove it by solving the polynomial x^2 + 6 = 0.

Answer:

2(7) = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

When there is a number in the brackets, we want to input that into our function and get the output. In other words, we simply substitute 7 for x

2(7) = 14
