Answer:

the slope of the line is -3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the line you can either use the formula y2-y2/x2-x1 and plugin 2 points on the line

so points (0,2) and (4,-1) would give you -1-2/4-0

simplified gives -3/4 for the slope.

The other way you could find the slope of the graph is to remember that slope is rise/run, this means that since your line is going down 3 numbers, the numerator (rise) would be -3, and it is going to the right 4 numbers, the denominator (run) would be 4. This would give you your slope of -3/4

solution:

$x^{2}+12x-7=0\\add 7 to both side of the equation\\x^{2}-12x=7\\to creat a trinomial square on the left side of the equation.\\find a value that is equal to the square of b and the cofficent of x.\\(\frac{b}{2})^2=(-6)^2\\add the term to each side of the equation\\x^2-12x+(-6)^2=7+(-6)\\x^2-12x+36=43\\(x-6)^2=43\\solve the equation for x.\\$ $take the square root of each side of the equation to the set up the solution x,\\(x-6)^2.\frac{1}{2}=\pm \sqrt{43}\\x-6=\pm \sqrt{43}\\x=6\pm \sqrt{43}$
