Answer:

In the equation y=mx+b, 'm' is the slope of the line and 'b' is the y-intercept.  

First, you should find the slope of the line.  To do this, use the equation M=y2-y1/x2-x1.  Using the two given points (3,6) and (8,4), you can solve for M.  

M=4-6/8-3

M=-2/5 (-0.4 in decimal form)

Now, your equation is y=-0.4x+b

Next you must solve for b to find the y-intercept.  You can do this by subbing one of the given points in for x and y.  

Using the point (3,6):

y=-0.4x+b

6=-0.4(3)+b

6=-1.2+b

Isolate b:

6+1.2=b

b=7.2

And now you have the equation of the line!

y=-0.4x+7.2 (IN FRACTION FORM: y=-2/5x+36/5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following quadratic equation using the quadratic formula.
exis [7]
5x^2-8x+5=0
ax^2+bx+c=0; a=5, b=-8, c=5
Quadratic Formula:
x=[-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/(2a)
x=[-(-8)+-sqrt( (-8)^2-4(5)(5) )] / [(2)(5) ]
x=[ 8+-sqrt(64-100)] / 10
x=[ 8+-sqrt(-36)] / 10
x=[8+-sqrt( (36)*(-1)) ] /10
x=[8+-sqrt(36)*sqrt(-1)] / 10
x=(8+-6i) / 10
x=(8/2+-6i/2) / (10/2)
x=(4+-3i)/5
x1=(4-3i)/5
x2=(4+3i)/5

Answers:
x=(4-3i)/5  ,  x=(4+3i)/5
