Let f (x) be a quadratic equation of the form:

x^2+bx+c\\

Where b and c are real numbers.

So a generic procedure for completing squares is:

1) identify b

In this case b = 10

2) divide b between 2 and then square it

(\frac{b}{2})^ 2\\

(\frac{10}{2})^ 2=25\\

3) Add and subtract b ^ 2 in the equation

x ^2+10x + 25 - 25 = 50\\

x ^ 2 + 10x +25 = 75\\

4) Rewrite the equation as follows

(x+\frac{b}{2})^2=c\\

(x + 5) ^ 2 = 75\\

The number that you must add to both sides of the equation is number 25 = (\frac{b}{2})^2

Use the slope formula to find the missing coordinate: R(0,_), S(-4,2) m=5
Delicious77 [7]

Answer

The missing value is 22

step-by-step explanation

The slope formula is

m =  \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

From the question,

m=5

x_2=-4

y_2=2

and

x_1=0

We substitute these values to get,

5=  \frac{2 - y_1}{ - 4- 0}

Simplify

5=  \frac{2 - y_1}{ - 4}

5 \times  - 4=2 - y_1

- 20=2 - y_1

- 20 - 2=- y_1

22= y_1

y_1 = 22

The missing value is 22
