y intercept : (0,6)

Explanation:

Use the formula:

. y = mx + b

Find m (the slope), using 2 random points of the graph: (-2,0) and (1,9)

. m = (y-y1) / (x-x1)

m = (0-9) / (-2-1)

m = -9 / -3

m = 3

Replace m in the equation:

. y = 3x + b

Find b by replacing y and x by a random point of the graph: (1,9)

. 9 = 3*1 + b

b = 9 - 3

b = 6

Replace b in the equation:

. y = 3x +6

To find the y-intercept replace x by 0 in the equation:

. y = 3*0 +6

y = 0+6

y = 6

=> y-intercept : (0,6)

In the figure above, are <3 and <7 alternate interior angles,

icang [17]

Answer:

Corresponding angles

Step-by-step explanation:

<3 and <7 lie on the same side of the transversal line. Each angle also is located on the outside of each parallel lines cut across by the transversal.

Therefore, <3 and <7 are corresponding angles.

The stream of water from a fountain follows a parabolic path. The stream reaches a maximum height of 7 feet, represented by a ve

First of all, I'm going to assume that we have a concave down parabola, because the stream of water is subjected to gravity.

If we need the vertex to be at $x=4$ , the equation will contain a $(x-4)^2$ term.

If we start with $y=-(x-4)^2$ we have a parabola, concave down, with vertex at $x=4$ and a maximum of 0.

So, if we add 7, we will translate the function vertically up 7 units, so that the new maximum will be $(4, 7)$

We have

$y = -(x-4)+7$

Now we only have to fix the fact that this parabola doesn't land at $(8,0)$ , because our parabola is too "narrow". We can work on that by multiplying the squared parenthesis by a certain coefficient: we want
