Hello :)
So to answer this problem, we can use the rise over run formula.
The rise is the difference of any two y values.
The run is the difference of the x values from the same two y values.
This question gives us 1,-2 and 3,0
We can use them for the formula:
-2 - 0 divided by 1 - 3
-2/-2 = 1
<em>Step #1: </em>
Make sure the equation is in the form of [ Ax² + Bx + C = 0 ].
Yours is already in that form.
A = 1
B = 2
C = -2
<em>Step #2:</em>
The 'discriminant' for that equation is [ B² - 4 A C ].
That's all there is to it, but it can tell you a lot about the roots of the equation.
-- If the discriminant is zero, then the left side of the equation is a perfect square,
and both roots are equal.
-- If the discriminant is greater than zero, the the roots are real and not equal.
-- If the discriminant is less than zero, then the roots are complex numbers.
The discriminant of your equation is [ B² - 4 A C ] = 2² - 4(1)(-2) = 4 + 8 = 12
Your equation has two real, unequal roots.

Talia attended a 5 -day math camp that lasted 5/6 of an hour each day. How many hours did Talia spend at the math camp?
Answer:
4 1/6 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
1 day = 5/6 hour
5 days = x
Cross Multiply
x = 5/6 × 5 days
x = 25/6 hours
x = 4 1/6 hours
Therefore, Talia spent 4 1/6 hours at camp.
