Why would i use quadratic formula to solve this quadratic equation?

It would be difficult to factor it...

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not sure factoring would work so the quadratic formula would be the only way

the answer is c)8

step-by-step explanaction:

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is
