Y=Mx +b
B is 0 because that’s where the graph intercepts the y axis.
M is found by picking any two points and finding the rise and run because m is equal rise/run
Points of choice: (-2,4) and (2,-4)
=2−1/2−1 = -8/4
m is equal -2
Y= -2X

Answer:
k=2
Problem:
if the equation x^2 +(k+2)x+2k=0 has equal roots,then the value of k is ..
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the coefficient of x^2 is 1, we can use this identity to aid us: x^2+bx+(b/2)^2=(x+b/2)^2.
So we want the following:
[(k+2)/2]^2=2k
Apply the power on the left:
(k+2)^2/4=2k
Multiply both sides by 4:
(k+2)^2=8k
Expand left side:
k^2+4k+4=8k *I used identity (x+c)^2=x^2+2xc+c^2
Subtract 8k on both sides:
k^2-4k+4=0
Factor using the identity mentioned a couple lines above:
(k-2)^2=0
Since zero squared is zero, we want k-2=0.
Adding both sides by 2 gives k=2.
This can be solved by using the binomial distribution. The probability of guessing correctly is 0.5, and the probability of making a wrong guess is also 0.5.
