For the case of a line through

(

2

,

7

)

and

(

1

,

−

4

)

we have

slope

m

=

Δ

y

Δ

x

=

−

4

−

7

1

−

2

=

−

11

−

1

=

11

Using the point

(

2

,

7

)

we can write the equation of the line in point slope form as:

y

−

7

=

m

(

x

−

2

)

where the slope

m

=

11

.

That is:

y

−

7

=

11

(

x

−

2

)

To get point intercept form, first expand the right hand side so...

y

−

7

=

11

x

−

(

11

⋅

2

)

=

11

x

−

22

Then add

7

to both sides to get:

y

=

11

x

−

15

=

11

x

+

(

−

15

)

This is point intercept (

y

=

m

x

+

c

) form with slope

m

=

11

and intercept

c

=

−

15

.

Determine the discriminant for the given equation x^2+4x+5=0. Then describe the roots(how many and what type).
Fed [463]

Discriminant = b^2 - 4ac, where a, b and c come from the form of the quadratic equation as ax^2 + bx + c

Discriminant = (4)^2 - 4(1)(5)
= 16 - 20
= -4

-4 < 0, therefor there are no roots

(If the discriminant = 0, then there is one root
If the discriminant > 0, there are two roots, and if it is a perfect square (eg. 4, 9, 16, etc.) then there are two rational roots
If the discriminant < 0, there are no roots)

4x+2(3x-9)=42 what is x equal
katrin2010 [14]
<span>4x+2(3x-9)=42
first we want to distribute the 2 using the distributive property
4x+6x-18=42
Then we simplify
</span><span>10x-18=42
we add 18 to both sides
10x=60
divide both side by 10
