Identify the function shown in this graph.

C. y = -2x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

The slope is going down so that means that the m will be negative.

We are left with two choices:

y = -2x - 1

y = -2x + 1

Check the graph again to find what point does the line intersect the vertical line (y-axis). That hits in (0, -1) or -1.

So the only answer applicable is option C.

x² + 3x + 7 = 0       [ax² + bx + c]

a = 1

b = 3

c = 7

quadratic formula:

    (+/- is this ±)

plug in the numbers into the variables

your answer is a

x=-7

step-by-step explanation:

x+3=-10

-10+3=-7

x=-7
