Answer:

y=-2x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the slope is -2, we can make an equation : y=-2x+b

Now plug in the point given to find b.

1=-2(-2)+b

1=4+b

b=-3

so, the equation is y=-2x-3

The correct answer is: y - 1= -2(x + 2)

Find the complex zeros of x^3+27. write f in factored form

aliina [53]

$x^3+27=0
\\x^3+3^3=0
\\(x+3)(x^2-3x+9)=0
\\x^2-3x+9=0
\\a=1,b=-3,c=9
\\
\\x_{1,2}= \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} = \frac{-(-3)\pm \sqrt{(-3)^2-4\times1\times9} }{2\times1} =\frac{3\pm \sqrt{-27} }{2} =\frac{3\pm 3\sqrt{3}i }{2} 
\\
\\(x+3)(x-\frac{3+ 3\sqrt{3}i }{2})(x-\frac{3- 3\sqrt{3}i }{2})=0
