Find the equation for the line that passes through the point (2,2) , and that is parallel to the line with the equation x=−1 .

x = 2

Reason:
The equation x = -1 is a vertical line cutting (-1,0). For the next equation to be parallel, it must also be a vertical line. Since it cuts through (2,2), then the equation must be x = 2

Abit confused about what you mean, but i think you might be referring to slope intercept form: y = mx + bin that case b, or the y intercept is already given.(0,-1)find the slope by using the formulay2 - y1/x2 - x1the final slope will be 4/2, equivalent to 2.now your equation should look like thisy = 4/2x -1sorry if this didn’t you out!

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 *_*
