Answer:

-15, -17

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 32x = –255 move the -255 to the left

x^2 + 32x +255=0

What two number when multiplied equal 255? Those same two numbers when added make 32. 17*15 make 255 and added is 32

(x+15)(x+17) For x+15=0 move the 15 to the other side. x= -15. Same with x+17=0 is x= -17

x= -15, -17

Find the equation of the line with a slope of 2/5 and containing the point (10,6).
Kipish [7]

Use the poin-slope form of the equation of a line:-


y - y1 = m(x - x1) (where m = slope and the point is (x1, y1))


Plugging in the given values:-


y - 6 = 2/5(x - 10)


multiplying through by 5:-


5y - 30 = 2(x - 10)

5y - 30 = 2x - 20

5y = 2x + 10


In standard form the equation is


2x - 5y = -10 (answer)
