So.. hmmm notice the vertex location for a parabola
is located at \bf y = ax^2+bx+c
\qquad \\

\left(-\cfrac{{{ b}}}{2{{ a}}}\quad ,\quad  f\left(-\cfrac{{{ b}}}{2{{ a}}}\right)\right)

also, notice the axis of symmetry in the picture, x = 6
the axis of symmetry is located at the same x-value as
the vertex's x-coordinate, so whatever\bf -\cfrac{{{ b}}}{2{{ a}}} is
is equals to 6, since we know, by the axis of symmetry, 
that that x spot IS indeed 6

so one can say \bf y = 1x^2+bx+10
\\\\

-\cfrac{{{ b}}}{2{{ a}}}\implies -\cfrac{{{ b}}}{2{{ (1)}}}
\\ \quad \\\\
and\qquad -\cfrac{{{ b}}}{2{{ (1)}}}=6\impliedby \textit{ solve for "b"}

Answer:

b=-12

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

f(x)=x^{2}+bx+10

we know that

The equation of a vertical parabola into vertex form is equal to

y=a(x-h)^{2} +k

where

(h,k) is the vertex of the parabola

and the axis of symmetry is equal to x=h

In this problem we have the axis of symmetry x=6

so

the x-coordinate of the vertex is equal to 6  

therefore

For x=6+1=7 -----> one unit to the right of the vertex

Find the value of f(7)

f(7)=7^{2}+b(7)+10

f(7)=59+7b

For x=6-1=5 -----> one unit to the left of the vertex

Find the value of f(5)

f(5)=5^{2}+b(5)+10

f(5)=35+5b

Remember that

f(5)=f(7) ------> the x-coordinates are at the same distance from the axis of symmetry

so

59+7b=35+5b ------> solve for b

7b-5b=35-59

2b=-24

b=-12

There is a line that includes the point(10, 5)and has a slope of 1 What
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

y = x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the point, (10, 5), and the slope, m = 1:

Substitute these values into the <u>slope-intercept form</u> to solve for the y-intercept, <em>b</em>:

y = mx + b

5 = 1(10) + b

5 = 10 + b

Subtract 10 from both sides to isolate b:

5 - 10 = 10 - 10 + b

-5 = b

The y-intercept of the line is: b = -5. This represents the y-coordinate of the y-intercept, (0, -5), which represents the point on the graph where it crosses the y-axis. Along the y-axis, the value of x = 0. Hence, the y-intercept is (0, -5).  

Therefore, given the slope, m = 1, and the y-intercept, b = -5:

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is:  y = x - 5.

Solve |3x - 4| = 6<br> please help me solve
Radda [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

|3x - 4| = 6

3x-4 = 6 or 3x-4 = -6

3x=6+4 3x=-6+4

3x=10 3x = -2

x= 10/3 x = -2/3

so, x1= 10/3 or x2 = -2/3
