If y = -4x^2 - 7x + 2, and we want it in vertex form, we'll have to use "completing the square."  Do you know that approach?

y = -4x^2 - 7x + 2 can be re-written as   y-2 = -4x^2 - 7x , which looks a bit like the "vertex form" y-k = a(x-h)^2

We must complete the square of -4(x^2 + (7/4)x).

Here's what <em>I'd do:  -4(x^2 + (7/4)x + (7/8)^2 - (7/8)^2 )
This becomes -4( (x+7/4)^2 - (7/8)^2 )   (remember that this is equal to y-2)

Then y-2 = -4(x+7/4)^2 -(49/64) ) = -4(x+7/4)^2 + 4(49/64)
                                             or y-2 = -4(x+7/4)^2 + 49/16
Subtract 49/16 from both sides, obtaining y - (2+49/16) = -4(x+7/4)^2

Note that 2+49/16 = (32+49)/16 = 81/16.  Thus, we have

y - 81/16 = -4(x+7/4)^2.  Compare this to y-k = a(x-h)^2, and see that h=-7/4 and k = 81/16.   The vertex is at (-7/4, 81/16).

Y = -4x² -7x + 2 

Take out -4 as the common factor:
y = - 4(x² + 7/4x - 1/2)

Add ±(b/2)² to form perfect square:
y = -4(x² + 7/4x + (7/8)² - (7/8)² - 1/2)

<em>Form perfect square:</em>
y = -4[ (x + 7/8)² -  49/64 - 1/2]

<em>Combine the terms outside the perfect square:</em>
y = - 4[ (x + 7/8)² -81/64 ] 

<em>Make it into a(x - k)² + h format;</em>
y = -4 (x + 7/8)²   + 81/16

Equation of the vertex : y = -4 (x + 7/8)²   + 81/16

Write the equation of the line in fully simplified slope-intercept form
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

y = 3x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope - Intercept Form :  y = mx+b

m = slope

b = y - intercept

Slope =  \frac{rise}{run}

          = \frac3{1}

          = 3

So far:   y = 3x + b

Plug in a point from the graph, ex. (3,2)

2 = 3(3) + b\\\\2 = 9 + b\\\\b = -7

Equation :   y = 3x - 7
