Answer:
k = - , k = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the discriminant Δ = b² - 4ac
The condition for equal roots is b² - 4ac = 0
Given
kx² + 2x + k = - kx ( add kx to both sides )
kx² + 2x + kx + k = 0 , that is
kx² + (2 + k)x + k = 0 ← in standard form
with a = k, b = 2 + k and c = k , thus
(2 + k)² - 4k² = 0 ← expand and simplify left side
4 + 4k + k² - 4k² = 0
- 3k² + 4k + 4 = 0 ( multiply through by - 1 )
3k² - 4k - 4 = 0 ← in standard form
(3k + 2)(k - 2) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for k
3k + 2 = 0 ⇒ 3k = - 2 ⇒ k = -
k - 2 = 0 ⇒ k = 2
Answer:
Slope is 5/3
y-intercept = -3
y = 5/3x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope, take to coordinates and use the equation below
7-2 = 5
6-3= 3
Now you have your slope which is 5/3
Then take the slope and input it into point slope form to get your y-intercept.
y-y₁=m(x-x₁)
y-2 = 5/3(x-3)
y-2=5/3x-5
add two to both sides to get Y by itself
y = 5/3x - 3
now you have your y-intercept, which is -3
Then check your answer by inputing two different coordinates for X and Y
7 = 5/3(6)-3
7=7
12= 5/3(9)-3
12=12
