Answer:

3x + 2y = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

x intercept of the line occurs at y = 0

Given the equation 3x+2y = 6

3x+2(0) = 6

3x = 6

x = 2

The x intercept is at (2, 0)

Adding -2 to each axis will give (2-2, 0-2) = (0, -2)

y intercept of the line occurs at x = 0

Given the equation 3x+2y = 6

3(0)+2y = 6

2y = 6

y =3

The x intercept is at (0, 3)

Adding -2 to each axis will give (0-2, 3-2) = (-2, 1)

The new coordinates are (0, -2 and (-2, 1)

Using the point slope form of the equation y - y0 = m(x-x0)

slope m = y2-y1/x2-x1

m = 1-(-2)/-2-0

m = 1+2/-2

m = -3/2

Using m = -3/2 and (0, -2)

y - (-2) = -3/2(x-0)

y+2 = -3/2 x

2(y+2) = -3x

2y+4 = -3x

-3x-2y = 4

3x + 2y = -4

Hence the required equation is 3x + 2y = -4

Which of the following are solutions to the equation below?

Natasha2012 [34]

Both A and C would be solutions to the equation.

In order to solve for this you must first get the equation equal to 0.

2x^2+5x+8=6 ----> subtract 6 from both sides
2x^2 + 5x + 2 = 0

Now knowing this we can use the coefficients of each one in descending order of power as a, b and c.

a = 2 (because it is the coefficient to x^2)
b = 5 (because it is the coefficient to x)
c = 2 (because it is the end number)

Now we can plug these values into the quadratic equation.

$\frac{-b +/- \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac } }{2a}$

$\frac{-5 +/- \sqrt{5^{2} - 4(2)(2) } }{2(2)}$

$\frac{-5 +/- \sqrt{9} }{4}$

$\frac{-5 +/- 3 }{4}$

$\frac{-5 + 3 }{4}$ or -1/2 for the first answer

$\frac{-5 - 3 }{4}$ or -2 for the second answer
