Answer:
m=slope
y= intercept
m=y2-y1 /x2-x1 -8 - 6= -14
4- -3 = 7
-14/7 a 2 is your slope
y=2x=b
Now we find for X
choose a y from one of your points : lets use 6 Plug 6 in for y s(-3,6)
y=2x+b
6=2(-3) +b
now solve for b
6= -6 + b
now add 6 to both sides to get b alone
6+6 =6+-6 +b
12=b
now write you equation out y=2x =12

Properly identifying and assigning the proper variables to each part of the problem before attempting to solve it
Please include the instructions; I assume your job is to find the value of x.
<span>1/(x+1) - 1/(x+2) = 1/2 would better be written as
1 1 1
</span><span>-------- - ------------ = ----
x+1 x+2 2
Identify the LCD. It is (x+1)(x+2)(2). Mult. all 3 terms of the equation by this LCD:
2(x+2) - 2(x+1) = 2(x+1)(x+2)
We can factor out the 2 from all terms:
x+2 - x - 1 = x^2 + 3x + 2
Let's move all terms from the left to the right side:
0 = x^2 + 3x + 2 - x - 2 + x + 1
Then x^2 + 3x + 1 = 0. This is a quadratic with a=1, b=3 and c=1.
What is x?
-3 plus or minus sqrt( 9-4(1)(1) ) -3 plus or minus sqrt(5)
x = --------------------------------------------- = ---------------------------------
2 2
I rather expected to obtain an integer value for x.
Why don't you give this problem a try yourself? Suggestion: First mult. every term by 2. This will give you:
2 2
------- - ------- = 1 and this may be slightly easier to work with. Please
x+1 x+2 give it a try: try to find x that satisfies this equation.
Important: note that x cannot equal either -1 or -2.

Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
To complete the square, first you must make sure that the coefficient of the x^2 term is 1. Here you have x^2 - 2x - 37 = 0. Since the x^2 term is simply x^2, you do have a coefficient of 1 for the x^2 term.
To find the number you need to add to complete the square, take the coefficient of the x term. Divide it by 2. Then square it.
The x term is -2x. The coefficient of the x term is -2.
Take half of -2 which is -1.
Now square -1 to get 1.
You need to add 1 to complete the square.
