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.

What are the roots of the polynomial equation x^2+8x-48=0
____ [38]

<span> Given polynomial x^2+8x-48 = 0</span>

<span>x^2+12x-4x-48 = 0</span>

<span>x(x+12)-4(x+12) = 0</span>

<span>(x+12)(x-4) = 0</span>

<span>x+12 = 0</span>

Subtract 12 from each side.

<span>x+12-12 = 0-12</span>

<span>x = -12</span>

<span>and x-4 = 0</span>

Add 4 to each side.

<span>x-4+4 = 0+4</span>

<span>x = 4</span>

<span>Roots are -12,4.</span>
