Please use " ^ " to indicate exponentiation: x^2 + 3x - 4 = 0
Here, a = 1, b = 3 and c = -4.
The formula for the discriminant is b^2 - 4(a)(c).
Substituting the given values of a, b and c, we get:
(3)^2 - 4(1)(-4)
Evaluating this, we get 9 + 16 = 25.
The discriminant is 25.
-3 plus or minus √25
Taking this further, x = ------------------------------------
2
-3 plus or minus 5
or: x = -------------------------------- => {-4, 1} (solutions)

Answer:
2 74/100
Step-by-step explanation:
--------------------------------------------------
Find Slope :
--------------------------------------------------
y = -2/7x + 9
Slope = -2/7
Perpendicular slope= 7/2
--------------------------------------------------
Find y - intercept :
--------------------------------------------------
y = mx + b
y = 7/2 x + b
At (4, -6)
-6 = 7/2 (4) + b
-6 = 14 + b
b = -6 - 14
b = -20
--------------------------------------------------
Form equation :
--------------------------------------------------
y = mx + b
y = 7/2 x - 20
2y = 7x - 40
--------------------------------------------------
Answer: 2y = 7x - 40
--------------------------------------------------
The answer would be 32/5 or 6 2/5 or 6.4
Hope this helps
Have a great day/night
