Completing the square is a process to find the solutions, or the x-values, to a quadratic equation. This method can only work if it is in the format: x^2 + bx = c
In this equation, the b value is -12 and the c value is -6. The process for completing the square goes like this:

x^2 + bx + (b/2)^2 = c + (b/2)^2

Now let’s solve the equation above using this method.

Step 1: x^2 - 12x + (-12/2)^2 = -6 + (-12/2)^2

Step 2: x^2 - 12x + (-6)^2 = -6 + (-6)^2

Step 3: x^2 - 12x + 36 = -6 + 36

Step 4: x^2 - 12x + 36 = 30

Now, to factor it. After doing the process until now, the left side of the equation can ALWAYS be in the format: (x + a)^2

Step 5: x^2 - 12x + 36 can be factored in this format as (x - 6)^2

Step 6: (x - 6)^2 = 30

Step 7: x - 6 = √30

Step 8: x = 6 ±√30

A line with a slope of 1 passes through the point (18, 15). What is its equation in slope-intercept form? Write your answer usin
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

y = x - 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

  Slope of the line  =  1

  Coordinate = (18, 15)

Unknown:

Equation of the line in slope-intercept format = ?

Solution:

The equation of a line is expressed as;

         y  =  mx + c

where y and x are the coordinates

          m is the slope

          c is the y-intercept

Now, sine x = 18 and y = 5, let us find c;

        5 = 1(18) + c

      5 = 18 + c

       c = -13;

 The equation of the line is;

       y  = 1(x) + (-13)

       y = x - 13
