The discriminant explains how many solutions the quadratic function has. It is found using this formula:

Using the formula, there are three rules. Let's say the discriminant=d:
d<0 - No solution ø
d=0 -ONLY 1 solution
d>0 -2 solutions
In the following graph, there are no solutions as the graph does not hit the x-axis at any point.
Thereafter, the discriminant MUST be less than zero. Let's view the options check which one agrees with our answer.
A - Discriminant is greater than 0, which means two solutions. This is WRONG.
B - Discriminant is less than 0, which means no solutions. CORRECT!C- Discriminant is equal to 0, which means one solution. WRONG!
Your answer is B.
Answer:
4a. 13
4b. -4
Step-by-step explanation:
2x-6/5 = 4 (Muti each side by 5)
2x-6 = 20
2x = 26 (Divide each side by 2)
x = 13
7- 2x/4 = 9
-2x/4 = 2 (Muti each side by 4)
-2x = 8 (Divide each side by -2)
x = -4
In y = mx+b, m is the term that refers to slope
hope this helps
