2x^2-8x-24=0
Divide the whole equation by 2.
x^2-4x-12=0
Complete the square
x^2-4x+4-16=0
(x-2)^2 -16=0
(x-2)^2=16
Take the square root of each side.
(x-2)=4 and (-(x-2))=4
x=6 and x=-2
Y = -7x - 2
Use the two points given to find the slope (m)
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = ( 12-5 ) / (-2 - (-1))
m = -7
Now we have y = -7x + b where 'b' is our y-intercept. We can solve for 'b' by choosing one of the (x,y) coordinate points and plugging them in.
Let's choose the point (-1,5). Plug -1 in for 'x' and 5 in for 'y' and solve for 'b'.
y = -7x + b
5 = -7(-1) + b
b = -2
Final eqn: y = -7x - 2
Answer:
what is this
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
54
Step-by-step explanation:
Angles in a triangle add to 180° and we can see a right angle so
x = 180 - ( 90 + 36 )
x = 180 - 126
x = 54
