Answer:

V(x,y) = \left(3,\frac{23}{5}   \right)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let consider the following linear equation systems by using the known points and second-grade polynomial:

(-1, 7)

a + b + c = 7

(5, 7)

25\cdot a + 5\cdot b + c = 7

(6,10)

36\cdot a + 6 \cdot b + c = 10

After some algebraic manipulation, the values for the polynomial coefficients are found:

a = \frac{3}{5}, b = -\frac{18}{5}, c = 10

The polynomial is:

y = \frac{3}{5}\cdot x^{2} - \frac{18}{5}\cdot x +10

Lastly, the vertex is found by further handling:

y - 10 = \frac{3}{5}\cdot (x^{2}-6\cdot x + 9) - \frac{27}{5}

y -\frac{23}{5} = \frac{3}{5}\cdot (x-3)^{2}

The coordinates for the vertex are:

V(x,y) = \left(3,\frac{23}{5}   \right)

Two of the given points have the same y-value. The midpoint of those two will be on the line of symmetry, as is the vertex. The x-value there is (-1+5)/2 = 2.

When compared with the independent variable, how many of the graphs represent a linear relationship?
strojnjashka [21]
Since a slope differe, this is not linear relationship. Simply, if you connect all points on the graph, they will not lie on the same line. Two next graphs represent the linear relationships, so they represent the linear relationship.
