Quadratic formula is x = -b+ or- sq rt b^2-4ac / 2a
a=2 b=5 c=-3
-5 +or- sqrt 5^2-4(2)(-3) / 2(2)
-5 +or- sqrt 49/ 4
-5 + 7 /4 = 2/4 = 1/2
-5 - 7 /4 = -12/4 = -3
Factoring a*c is 2*-3 =-6
Factors of -6 that add to 5 are 6 and -1
Split 5x into +6x-1x
2x^2+6x-1x-3 and group
2x(x+3)-1(x+3)
(x+3)(2x-1)=0
x+3=0 gives x=-3
2x-1=0 gives x=1/2
slope of line=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
give is
(x1,y1)=(8,2)
(x2,y2)=(10,2)
therefore slope =(2-2)/(10-8)=0/2=0
Hence
answer
Slope of line=0
The mean is the average.
Total the numbers and divide by the quantity of numbers.
2 +2 + 3 + 3 +4 +4 +4 +5 +5 +5 +5 + 6 = 48
48 / 12 = 4
The answer is B.4
