Answer:
The answer is y=1/3x-1
Step-by-step explanation:
m=1/3
y-y=m(x-x1)
y-(-1)=1/3(x-0)
y+1=1/3x-0
-1 -1
y=1/3x-1
"The discriminant is prime?" I haven't heard that one before.
Here are the general rules:
1. a positive discriminant results in two real, unequal roots.
2. a zero discr. results in two real, equal roots.
3. a negative discr. results in two complex roots, which sometimes means two imaginary roots.
You would use the tangent first, because the opposite of 40 would be x and the adjacent would be 30ft
First, plug in 5 for x:
| -5 * 5 + 12 | = |-25 + 12| = |-13|
Those two lines are absolute value, which measures the distance from the number to 0 on a number line. This distance is always positive.
The distance from -13 to 0 on a number line is 13. The answer is 13.
