9514 1404 393
Answer:
x -3y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
A plot of the points reveals the longer diagonal to be BD. (Also, point C is on that line.)
We can write the standard form equation of the line through (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) as ...
(y2 -y1)x -(x2 -x1)y = (y2 -y1)x1 -(x2 -x1)y1
For points (-2, -2) and (16, 4), this equation is ...
(4 -(-2))x -(16 -(-2))y = (4 -(-2))(-2) -(16 -(-2))(-2)
6x -18y = -12 +36
Dividing by the greatest common factor (6), we have the standard-form equation ...
x -3y = 4

Two numbers that add up to -19 and multiply to 48 are -16 and -3:
So, the solutions come from each parentheses: x+4=0, x-4=0, and x^2-3=0.
x+4=0
x = -4
x-4=0
x = 4
x^2-3=0
x^2 = 3
x = +/- √3
So, the solutions are -4, -√3, √3, and 4.
