The answer to your question is 20
You need to know these two formulas:

For example,

Yes; this is a linear function because you plug in a number and multiply it by two, so the function would be y=2x, which is linear despite the fact that it lacks a b value.
Hope this helps! :)
Yes because it can be expressed as a fraction (9/27)
Answer:
(-5,-13)
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the vertex of the parabola y=1/5x^2+2x−8.
In this equation a=15 and b = 2.
x= -2/2(1/5) = -2/2/5 = -2/1 * 5/2 = -5
Substitute −5 into the equation y=1/5x^2+2x−8
y=1/5(−5)^2+2(−5)−8
y=5−10−8
y=−13
The vertex is (−5 , −13)
