What is an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the point (4,4) and has a slope of -5?

y= -20x +24

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+c

y=-5x+c

substitute (4;4)

4= -5(4) +c

4= -20+c

4+20=c

c=24

4+4+2x

or

2x+8

step-by-step explanation:

the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

the root or roots of a polynomial are the values of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to 0. we can find the roots of a polynomial making the expression equal to 0 and then, isolating the variable (it it has just one variable).

for example, given the following polynomial:

the root or zero of the polynomial, can be found by making the expression equal to 0, and then, isolating the variable, so, finding the root we have:

therefore, we have that the root of the polynomial is equal to 2.

we must remember that the number of roots that a polynomial can have, will depend on the degree of the polynomial, a first degree polynomial have will have one single root, a second degree polynomial (quadratic expression) may have two roots and so.

hence the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

have a nice day!
