Solve the following system of equations by substitution. 3x + 2y = -12 x = 2 A. (2, -9) B. (-2, -3) C. (3, 2) D. (2, 3)

1 answer:

4 0

Plugging it in, we get (3)(2)+2y=-12 and 6+2y=-12. Subtracting 6 from both sides, we get -18=2y and dividing by 2 we get y=-9 to get (2, -9) since x is first in the pair

What is the equation of the graph

AveGali [126]

Answer:

$y = 2x^2 + 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph you see there is called a parabola. The general equation for the graph is as below

$y = a*x^2 + b$

To find the equation we need to find the constants a and b. The constant b is just how much we're lifting the parabola by. Notice it's lifted by 1 on the y axis.

To find a it's a little more tricky. Let's use the graph to find a value for a by plugging in values we know. We know that b is 1 from the previous step, and we know that when x=1, y=3. Let's use that!

$3 = a * (1)^2 + 1\\2 = a$
