Write a linear equation in slope intercept form that passes through the points (4,7) and (-2,-1)

Equation is y=mx+b so solve for m with the equation m=y2-y1/x2-x1. so m= -1-7/-2-4. m=4/3.
y=4/3x+7

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 *_*
