Answer:

y = -2x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The parallel line has an equation of y = -2x + 7;

And its slope is -2.

The slope of the line that passes through (4,1) is also -2 since parallel lines have the same slope.

Taking another point (x,y) on the line that passes through (4,1):

slope(m) = change in y ÷ change in x

-2 = $\frac{y - 1}{x - 4}$

Cross multiplying gives;

y - 1 = -2x + 8

y = -2x + 9

Answer:

A and B are functions

Step-by-step explanation:

for A, none of the x's repeat which makes it a FUNCTION

for B, when it starts with x^2, it will always be a FUNCTION (its a quadratic)

for C, 10 repeats for the x so it is NOT A FUNCTION

What is the equation of this parabola in vertex form

attashe74 [19]

first off, let's notice the parabola is a vertical one, therefore the squared variable is the x, and the parabola is opening upwards, meaning the coefficient of x² is positive.

let's notice the vertex, or U-turn, is at (-2, 2)

$\bf ~~~~~~\textit{parabola vertex form} \\\\ \begin{array}{llll} \boxed{y=a(x- h)^2+ k}\\\\ x=a(y- k)^2+ h \end{array} \qquad\qquad vertex~~(\stackrel{-2}{ h},\stackrel{2}{ k}) \\\\\\ y=+1[x-(-2)]^2+2\implies y=(x+2)^2+2$
