find y=mx+b for line parallel to AB.

The line that is parallel will have the same slope as line AB:

the slope of line AB is

m=(8-3)/(-10-2)

=5/-12

=-5/12

Since the line going through X is parallel the vertical distance of the new line to AB is the same for all values of the domain(x-axis).

at x=-5 the point X has the y value of 10 which is 4 more than the y value for AB based on the graph.

To find the intercept b of the line going through X that is parallel to AB we just add 4 to the intercept of AB, which is 4 so

4+4=8

Solve this equation for x: 2x^2 + 12x - 7 = 0

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

x=0.5355 or x=-6.5355

First step is to: Isolate the constant term by adding 7 to both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to solve this equation: $2x^2 + 12x - 7 = 0$

On observation, the trinomial is not factorizable so we use the Completing the square method.

Step 1: Isolate the constant term by adding 7 to both sides

$2x^2 + 12x - 7+7 = 0+7\\2x^2 + 12x=7$

Step 2: Divide the equation all through by the coefficient of $x^2$ which is 2.

$x^2 + 6x=\frac{7}{2}$

Step 3: Divide the coefficient of x by 2, square it and add it to both sides.

Coefficient of x=6

Divided by 2=3

Square of 3= $3^2$

Therefore, we have:

$x^2 + 6x+3^2=\frac{7}{2}+3^2$

Step 4: Write the Left Hand side in the form $(x+k)^2$

$(x+3)^2=\frac{7}{2}+3^2\\(x+3)^2=12.5\\$

Step 5: Take the square root of both sides and solve for x

$x+3=\pm\sqrt{12.5}\\x=-3\pm \sqrt{12.5}\\x=-3+ \sqrt{12.5}, $ or $x= -3- \sqrt{12.5}\\$x=0.5355 or x=-6.5355$
