Since the lines are parallel their slopes are equal. So, the equation is y=4x+b
Now we need to find the y-intercept, which is b.
Now, Plug in point p to find b:
3=4*(-1)+b
b=3+4=7
The equation is: y=4x+7
The answer to this is the second choice
I think it would be A.) but at the same time i think it's wrong
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
x + 9 and (x + ( i - 7)) are factors
Discussion:
If f(x) has roots -9 and 7-i then
f(x) = g(x)(x - (-9)) (x - (7-i)) ( g(x) is a polynomial of degree less than f(x))
That is, x + 9 and (x + ( i - 7)) are factors of f(x)
BTW: if the coefficients of f(x) are real (not stated in the Question) then the conjugate of 7-i, i.e. 7 + i, is also be a root.
Thank you,
MrB
