Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf y= -4x -3}}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the equation of a line given a point and the slope. We will use the point-slope formula.

y-y_1= m(x-x_1)

In this formula, m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is the point the line passes through. The slope of this line is -4 and the line passes through (-2,5).

  • m= -4
  • x₁= -2
  • y₁ = 5

Substitute the values into the formula.

y-5 = -4 (x--2)

y-5 = -4 (x+2)

We are finding the equation of the line, so we should find the slope-intercept form or y=mx+b ( where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept).We must isolate the variable y on one side of the equation.

First, distribute the -4 on the right side of the equation. Multiply each term inside the parentheses by -4.

y-5=( -4 *x ) + (-4* 2 )

y-5 =(-4x)+ (-8)\\y-5= -4x -8

5 is being subtracted from y. The inverse operation of subtraction is addition, so we will add 5 to both sides of the equation.

y-5 =-4x -8 + 5

y= -4x -3

The equation of the line is y= -4x -3. The slope of the line is -4 and the y-intercept is -3.

Answer:

t= -1.33 recurring and -2

Step-by-step explanation:

3t²+4t+8=-6t

3t²+4t+6t+8

3t²+10t+8

This is a quadratic equation, it can be solved by using either factorisation, completing the square method or formulae method. For the purpose of this question, I would be using the formulae method.

-b±√(b²-4ac)/2a

Where a=3, b= 10 and c=8

-10±√(10²-4(3)(8))/2(3)

-10±√(100-96)/6

(-10±√4)/6

(-10±2)/6

-10+2/6 or -10-2/6

-8/6 or -12/6

-1.3333 recurring or -2
