7 0

Answer:

The value of k is -21

Step-by-step explanation:

ax² + bx + c = 0

Sum of the roots = -b/a

3x² + kx + 1 = 0

= sum of the roots = -k/3

-k/3 = 7

Now, Multiply both side by (-3) we get,

(-3)-k/3 = 7(-3)

k = -21

Thus, The value of k is -21

Choose the graph below that has an undefined slope.

Ronch [10]

Answer:

The correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first line passing through the points (-6,2) and (-6,0).

The slope of a line is

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

The slope of first line is

$m_1=\frac{0-2}{-6-(-6)}=\infty$

The second line passing through the points (0,-4) and (-1,1). The slope of second line is

$m_2=\frac{1-(-4)}{-1-0}=-5$

The third line passing through the points (0,-6) and (2,-6). The slope of third line is

$m_3=\frac{-6-(-6)}{2-0}=0$

The fourth line passing through the points (0,6) and (-3,-7). The slope of fourth line is

$m_4=\frac{-7-6}{-3-0}=\frac{13}{3}$

Since the slope of a vertical line is infinity, Therefore option A is correct.
