the discriminant formula is b^2-4ac
so plug the values from each equation into the formula and solve, the result is the value of the discriminant
if the number is negative, there are no real roots/x-int
if it is 0 there is one real root/x-intercepts
if it is positive it has 2 real roots/x-int
and to find the actual solutions you have to plug the values into the quadratic formula
If 1 inch equals 20miles then 8 inches equals 20 x 8 = 160 miles.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a.
2y - 3x = 5
2(-2) - 3x = 5
-4 - 3x = 5
-3x = 9
x = -3
(-3,-2) is another solution
b.
(-1,1)
2y - 3x = 5
2(1) - 3(-1) = 5
2 + 3 = 5
5 = 5
true, the point is a solution to the equation because the equation is true after substituting x and y with the point (-1,1)
(4,1)
2y - 3x = 5
2(1) - 3(4) = 5
2 - 12 = 5
-10 = 5
not true, the point is not a solution to the equation because the equation is not true after substituting x and y with the point (4,1)
c. You can use the points from the given (-1,1) and (-3,-2) to form a line. You then shade whichever half solves the solution using points on the graph.
