Answer
ok
Step-by-step explanation:
Complete the square:
F(x) = -3x² - 6x - 5
F(x) = -3 (x² + 2x) - 5
F(x) = -3 (x² + 2x + 1 - 1) - 5
F(x) = -3 ((x + 1)² - 1) - 5
F(x) = -3 (x + 1)² + 3 - 5
F(x) = -3 (x + 1)² - 2
The y-intercept has x-coordinate equal to 0, so it corresponds to the value of F(0) :
F(0) = -3 (0 + 1)² - 2 = -3 - 2 = -5
The axis of symmetry is the vertical line running through the vertex of this parabola, so we'll come back to this.
The vertex of the parabola is (-1, -2). This represents the maximum value of F(x), which follows from
(x + 1)² ≥ 0 ⇒ -3 (x + 1)² ≤ 0 ⇒ -3 (x + 1)² - 2 ≤ -2
This is to say, every point on the parabola has a y-coordinate no greater than -2.
As mentioned earlier, the axis of symmetry is the vertical line through the vertex, and its equation is determined by the x-coordinate of the vertex. Hence the AoS is the line x = -1.
Answer:
y = -1/2x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the slope formula: y = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1), we can determine that the slope is -1/2. There is only one answer with the slope of -1/2, but to check that it's right, we can plug in one of the points to see that y = -1/2x + 1 works.

Answer:
y-4 = -2(x+1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The point-slope equation of a line is ...
y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)
You have m = -2 and (h, k) = (-1, 4). Putting these numbers into the above form gives ...
y -4 = -2(x +1)
