Answer:

y = -2x - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

so we have our two points, (-4,-1) and (-8,7) What we need to do to find our slope is y2 - y1 over x2 - x1. Once plugging in the numbers and subtracting it should give you 8/-4. 8 divided by -4 is -2. m = -2. Now to find our "b" we plug in our slope, and plug in one of the two points into the format of y = mx + b.

-1 = -2(-4) + b

multiply -2 and -4

-1 = 8 + b

we subtract 8 from itself and -1

-9 = b

Our equation is y = -2x - 9

4(x-11)^2=25

netineya [11]

Expand the square: 4(x-11)^ =25
4(x-11)(x-11)=25

Distribute : 4(x-11)(x-11)=25
4(x(x-11)-11(x-11))=25

Distribute: 4(x(x-11)-11(x-11))=25
4(x^-11x-11(x-11))=25

Solution: x=17/2
x=27/2

hope that helps
