Before the fraction: -1/2, i have a negative sign
use y=mx+b
3=-1/2(2)+b
3+1=-1+b+1
4=b
check your work
0=-1/2x+4
0+4=-1/2x
(4)÷(-1/2)=(-1/2x)÷(-1/2)
-2=x
another pair is (-2,0) use this to figure out the other points, and/or the points you have in the multiple choice.
Answer:
the answer is option A
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula of a slope:

We have the points (-2, -2) and (-4, 1). Substitute:

<h3>Answer: slope =

</h3>
You can get all the terms on one side, and then solve for x by any means:

Factor out a -2:

Factor this equation:

I will use the AC method. To use it, first multiply a and c (in ax^2 + bx +c):

Now, look for two numbers that multiply to -12 and add to -11. Obviously these numbers are -12 and 1. (-12*1 = -12 and -12+1 = -11). Now, because of rules, you set it up in a Punnett square:
4x^2 -12x
x -3
Now, we find common factors of the terms in rows:
_x_______-3__
4x| 4x^2 -12x
1 | x -3
So, you can use this to write an equivalent expression to the quadratic given:

Now, we known the factors are (solve for x):
3 and -1/4.
Answer:
y+2=-2(x-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
point-slope form
(y-y1)=m(x-x1)
m: slope = -2
(x1,y1) = (1,-2)
(y+2)=-2(x-1)
