Step-by-step explanation:
slope: -4
y + 1 = -4(x - 0)
y + 1 = -4x + 0
y = -4x - 1
<span>2x^2 - 2x - 1 = 0 a = 2, b = -2, c = -1 b^2 - 4ac = (-2)^2 - 4(2)(-1) = 4 + 8 = 12
so the answer is 12

The answers are:
__________________________
[B]: "√12 " ; AND:
__________________________
[D]: "<span>√20" .
__________________________
Note: "Irrational numbers" have decimals that are: 1) non-terminating; AND: 2) non-repeating.
__________________________
Consider the answer choices given; and consider the given information that there "should be no more than one answer.
__________________________________
Consider the following answer choices:
__________________________________
Choice A) "</span><span>√9" = 3 . Rule out this choice.
__________________________________
Choice C) "</span><span>√16" = 4 . Rule out this choice.
__________________________________
Choice E) "</span><span>√25" = 5. Rule out this choice.
_________________________________
We are left with 2 (two) remaining answer choices:
[B]: "</span>√12" ; and: [D]: "<span>√20" .
_________________________________
If there are more than one answer, then these two choices should be the correct answer. However, let us explore these two choices, using a calculator.
____________________________
[B]: </span>"√12" = 3.4641016151377546
[D]: "√20" = 4.4721359549995794
_________________________________
These two answer choices should the correct answers.
