Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
by inspection.. ( looking at the graph) we can see that the slope is down hill. so it's going to be negative and also slope = rise / run [rise is negative in this question] soo ... i'm looking carefully to see where the line is crossing the grid marks exactly .. it looks like to me (-3,1) and (2,-3) you tell me if that looks right... if it does .. then the rise / run is 4/5 and this is a negative slope sooo
- 4/5

Answer:
x = - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
4x = x^2 - 5 Transfer 4x to the right side.
Solution
x^2 - 4x - 5 = 0 Factor
(x - 5)(x + 1)
You want the negative solution. That means that the middle sign must be plus.
x + 1 = 0 Subtract 10 from both sides
x = - 1 Ten on the left disappears by the subtraction process.
Is that correct?
4x = x^2 - 5
x = - 10
4*(-1) = (-1)^2 - 5
-4 = ? 1 - 5
-4 = - 4
and it does work.
I believe this is what is wanted
You multiply it to find the answer
