Answer: Amanda is not correct

The vertex is at (1.25, -3.125)

=========================================================

Reason:

The x intercepts are 0 and 2.5

This is where the graph crosses the x axis. If we plugged in either x = 0 or x = 2.5, then we'd get f(x) = 0.

Find the midpoint of those values mentioned. Add them up, and divide by 2 to get the midpoint to be (0+2.5)/2 = 1.25

This is the x coordinate of the vertex.

Then plug that into the function to find the corresponding y coordinate of the vertex.

f(x) = 2x^2 - 5x

f(1.25) = 2(1.25)^2 - 5(1.25)

f(1.25) = -3.125

The vertex is located at (1.25, -3.125)

Amanda's x coordinate is correct, but the y coordinate isn't. Though her y coordinate isn't too far off.

I think I can see why she went with y = -3 since the lowest part of the graph is around this area. However, the lowest part of the parabola dips a tiny bit below y = -3. This is why it's better to use the equation rather than solely rely on the graph alone.

Find the slope of the line. <br> y=17
Sever21 [200]
If the y-value is 17, you will see a horizontal line on the graph at, well, the y-value 17. Because the slope is rise over run, and there is only run but not rise, the slope will be 0 over infinity, or simply 0.
