Plz need ! one of the solutions to the equation 5x^2+bx+12=0 is − 4/5. find the other solution.

b=-19

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that one of the solutions is x=-4/5

That is a solution to x. So if we plug in (-4/5) into the x in the equation, then it should equal 0.

5(-4/5)^2+b(4/5)+12=0

Now, just solve for b.

5(16/25)+b(4/5)+12=0

(16/5)+(4/5)b+12=0

(76/5)+(4/5)b=0

(4/5)b=-(76/5)

b=-19

b

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b
