Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
y = x^2 -4x-8
This is in the form y = ax^2 + bx +c
The axis of symmetry, h is found by h=-b/2a
We know a = 1, b=-4
h = -(-4)/ (2*1)
=4/2
=2
The axis of symmetry is x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
Straight line from -1,11 to 1,3 and then extend the line
Answer:
(-3, 0).
Step-by-step explanation:
At the x intercept y = 0 so
(x + 3) / (x - 2) = 0
x + 3 = 0
x = -3.
x-intercept is at (-3,0).
Answer: y ≥ (3/5)*x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
In the graph, we can see that we are above a bold line, that goes through the points (0, -3) and (5, 0)
First, let's find the equation for this line:
y = a*x + b
the value of a is the slope and is equal to:
a = (0 - (-3))/(5 -0) = 3/5
and the value of b is the point where the line intersects the y-axis, in this case, b = -3
then our line is
y = (3/5)*x - 3
As the shaded part is above the line, this equality represents the minimum value that y can take for a given x, and because the line is not a doted line, we know that the equality is valid, so we must use the ≥ symbol.
y ≥ (3/5)*x - 3
