Alright

so we have a set of points

any quadratic function can be represeted by the form
y=ax²+bx+c
where a, b, and c are all constants
sometimes we use f(x) instead of y

anyway

we can find the values of a, b, and c by subsituting the points


ok
for (-2,-20)
x=-2 and y=-20
-20=a(-2)²+b(-2)+c or
-20=4a-2b+c

for (0,-4)
x=0 and y=-4
-4=a(0)²+b(0)+c
-4=c
neato
we can subsitute -4 for c later to find a and b later

using (4,-20)
x=4 and y=-20
(at this point we notice that (-2,-20) and (4,-20) have same y values so the x value of the vertex will be the midpoint of the 2 x values which is at x=1 and we can do math to find the other things but whatever)
x=4 and y=-20
-20=a(4)²+b(4)+c
-20=16a+4b+c


alright

we've got
-20=4a-2b+c
-4=c
-20=16a+4b+c

usinb -4=c
-20=4a-2b-4
-20=16a+4b-4
add 4 to everybody
-16=4a-2b
-16=16a+4b
elimination

multiply top equation by 2 and add to 2nd equation
-32=8a-4b
-16=16a+4b +
-48=24a+0b

-48=24a
divide both sides by 24
-2=a
sub back into one of the equations
-16=4a-2b
-16=4(-2)-2b
-16=-8-2b
add 8
-8=-2b
divide by -2 both sides
4=b

a=-2
b=4
c=-4

y=-2x²+4x-4
or
f(x)=-2x²+4x-4

Find the gradient of the line passing through (6,8) and (4,10)
Mariulka [41]

Question:

Find the gradient of the line passing through (6,8) and (4,10).

Answer:

-1 is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of the line = The gradient of the line

Gradient of the line is known as change in the value of y-axis by change in the value of x-axis

Gradient = ∆y\∆x

Gradient = \frac{y_ 2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}  =  \frac{(10 - 8)}{(4 - 6)}  =  \frac{(2)}{(- 2)} =\boxed{- 1}\\
