The first number in the bracket is the x coordinate, the second is the y
So substitute the x and y in to get
8=-5(3)+1 which is 8=-14 which isnt true so the answer is no
Answer:
a = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
The general equation for a straight line is y = mx+c, where m is the gradient/ slope, so m = -5. The first thing we need to do is find c, which we do by plugging in the x and y values that we already know: y = 7 and x = -2
7 = -5*(-2) + c
7 = 10 + c
c = 7-10 = -3
Now, we have the general equation of y = -5x -3 and we can use this to find a.
We'll treat a as x and y will be equal to 2:
2 = -5a -3
5 = -5a (Divide both sides by 5)
-a = 1 (now by -1)
a = -1
When a quadratic equation ax^2+bx+c has a double root, the discriminant,
D=b^2-4ac=0
Here
a=2,
b=b,
c=18
and
D=b^2-4ac=b^2-4*2*18=0
solve for b
b^2-144=0
=> b= ± sqrt(144)= ± 12
So in order that the given equation has double roots, the possible values of b are ± 12.
Thats uhm hard how u do that
