Where does the graph x^2-3x-4 cross the x axis?

First, you need to factorise the quadratic:x2-3x-4=0(x-4)(x+1)=0Then, set each of the brackets to equal 0 and solve for x:x-4=0 --> x = 4x+1=0 --> x=-1

If x=3 and y=7, which of the following gives value of 23?


Line L1 is y = 4x + 5, line L2 is 4y - 16x -2 = 0. Show that the lines are parallel to each other
