Madeline needs to find the slope of the line that passes through the points (9, 12) and (7,4) she sets up the following work​

         4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line passing through two given points:  

(9, 12)   ⇒   x₁ = 9,  y₁ = 12

(7, 4)   ⇒     x₂ = 7,  y₂ = 4

So, the slope:

                     

Answer to your question: a. the fundamental theorem of algebra tells you that the equation will have two complex roots since the degree of the polynomial is 2. the roots are ​ x=1±i7√2 .number of roots=degree of polynomialhere, degree of polynomial is 2 so number of roots will be 2.hope it *_*
